Closet of Shame

Hiding in a closet of shame Ashamed of what comes with our name Shielding ourselves in steel armour Hiding our feelings from others Hiding in a closet of shame Hiding is no longer a game Not a game we played as children Our deepest fears are well hidden Hiding in a closet of shame By hiding, what do we gain? We gain the protection we crave By locking our hearts in the grave Hiding in a closet of shame Why are we hiding from our pain? Why are we hiding from the Light? The bright Light that renders us sight Hiding in a closet of shame We're sinners and we're all the same Why hide our weakness with pretense? We're all sinners under God's lens Hiding in a closet of shame Hiding from Him who took our pain Hide no more; Christ has set us free He's vanquished our shame on the tree Now, open the closet of shame Embrace Him who calls you by name Open your heart; receive His love Share the love from heaven above
