I locked up my heart and
I put on a show
I let the busyness of life
be a wall so nobody gets close
Well I got a lot done
yeah I'm so type A
But I'm finding arm's length
is a safe but lonely place
So I'm gonna choose to reach out
Choose to lay down
All of the fear that I've been hiding
Choose to be brave
Though my heart's afraid
To be a part of Your
Kingdom rising oh
God I'm done running from
The reason that You sent Your Son
So I will choose to love
Well it's always a risk
and it's always a dare
But it's a far more dangerous
thing to listen to fear
But it's a beautiful thing to
know and be known
Yeah there's a whole lot of
life outside of my comfort zone
So I'm gonna choose to reach out
Choose to lay down
All of the fear that I've been hiding
Choose to be brave
Though my heart's afraid
To be a part of Your
Kingdom rising oh
God I'm done running from
The reason that You sent Your Son
So I will choose to love
I'll choose to trust
Oh God let my heart
be tender in a world so tough
I'm gonna choose to love
I'm gonna choose to reach out
Choose to lay down
All of the fear that I've been hiding
Choose to be brave
Though my heart's afraid
To be a part of Your Kingdom rising oh
God I'm done running from
The reason that You sent Your Son
So I'm gonna choose to love
Maybe I'll hurt maybe I'll bruise
Maybe I'll cry maybe I'll lose
Still I will choose to love
