Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

Falling is easy

But staying in love is hard

Hard to be honest

And keep your heart open

To be who we truly are

Without the excuses

Without the facade

There?s no pretending

Here in Your love


Chorus

Oh Lord, set me free

Oh Lord, set me free


I?m finally seeing

You were here all along

Your love wasn?t absent

No, it doesn?t come or go

The image I?ve had

Is starting to fail

You?re patient with me

Lifting the veil 


Oh Lord, set me free

Oh Lord, set me free 

Oh Lord, set me free

Oh Lord, set me free


I let out the sails of my heart

Here I am, here You are

I let out the sails of my heart

Here I am, here You are
