Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
We have all been afraid
We have all run away
From the light, wanting more
We forget the love that we're created for
Before we even know, we're so far from home
Father heal us now
God show us how
To get back to the life that we've been missing
Jesus light the way
Teach us today
To be who we were born to be
We were born then made new
We were born to be the images of You
Like the sun and the stars
So beautifully reflecting who You are
Help us dare to be the beauty that You see
Father heal us now
God show us how
To get back to the life that we've been missing
Jesus light the way
Teach us today
To be who we were born to be
Born to be
There's a fire deep inside us all
Shaken by the wind, drowning in the rain
And only you can keep it burning bright
Only you, only you can light the way
God show us how
Father heal us now, now
Jesus light the way
Teach us today
To be who we were born to be
Father heal us now
God show us how
To get back to the life that we've been missing
Teach us today
To be who we were born to be
Jesus light the way
