Back in my footloose and fancy free, single days I wrote love songs to the opposite sex from time to time. Hey, it’s what red-blooded, toxic male songwriters do. So sue me if you don’t like it. I eventually came to my senses, thank God.
And I converted some of those footloose and fancy free songs.
Yeah, I turned them into what you might call songs about a deeper and more meaningful love that I offered up to my Creator. Well, you might not call ’em that. But I do.
I’m gonna share the lyrics to one of those songs. And I never recorded this updated version. I think I still have the original version somewhere. Maybe I’ll share that on my podcast if I can find it. But now, for your consideration, here are the lyrics to…
Can’t Hide It
Down in my heart; down deep in my heart
Is a place where no one ever goes.
But that’s about to stop; I know it’s gonna stop
‘Cause I’ve been changed by You, And I know it shows.
There’s a smile on my face
I can’t hide it.
My feet quickened their pace…
I can’t hide it.
You have opened the door to my poor heart once more.
And it’s You I live for.
I can’t hide it.
You listen to me; listen closely to me…
I wanna rise up from ashes of defeat.
I need Your grace, yes, I need all of Your grace.
Because I know it’s what makes me feel complete.
I had always worked things out inside,
And then I saw my foolish heart had lied.
Now I have my chance; my only chance…
