You'Re Not That Hard To Find
Here I am again caught up in this old suspended world
Bounded by chains, don't know my name
Caught up in a veil of surprise
Yet, do I yield my arms are open widened
I submit, I am real, as I feel
Jesus is calling me out of my circumstances
I arise, I relate, I no longer hesitate or debate
I stand firm in my new call freedom
Stop looking here and there, in the streets, around corners and cupboards;
For He's already here
Jesus, you're not that hard to find
And I am exhausted up into myself
And I'm tired of trying to behave myself
While holding back and holding my breath
There's noting no nothing left but you in my airway now, Lord
You're now in my heart and in my mind
Where you should have been there all of the time
I am looking upon the hill a top the mountains valleys still
and ever reaching spaces of clouds amongst the skies
The heavenly breaths the wind blown melodies
and I feel like I can fly
Yet, do I yield my arms are open widened
I submit, I am real, as I feel
Jesus is calling me out of my circumstances
I arise, I relate, I no longer hesitate or debate
I stand firm in my new call freedom
Stop looking here and there, in the streets, around corners and cupboards;
For He's already here
Jesus, you're not that hard to find
You are Lord God it's not you put it was I
for if I be still and open up my eyes
only then will I realize
you're not that hard to find
