The Hiding Place

Verse 1
They tell us that we're all naïve
They try to deceive, tell us what to believe
The fatal plan that they have up their sleeve
Was routed from love that was just misconceived
They keep You in a hiding place
A divided space just to hide Your grace
But this suppression is no more than a digression
Holding back the answer that can solve any question

Chorus
The Way, the Truth, and the Life
Your love I will never hide
I will shout Your name
No matter what they claim
One day every tongue will confess
But while there is still time left
I will share Your grace
Erase the hiding place

Verse 2
And in every hurting place
There's an empty space with a needed brace
The gift is free, no payment to be made
The price is already paid
All we need is to be wise
Open our eyes, lift our hands for the prize
As we take the hand that gives us hope
As we helplessly slide down life's slippery slopes

Chorus
The Way, the Truth, and the Life
Your love I will never hide
I will shout Your name
No matter what they claim
One day every tongue will confess
But while there is still time left
I will share Your grace
Erase the hiding place

Bridge
And through the day and night
I will shine the light
And when things get tight
The light will just ignite
And despite their spite
I will shine the light
And even if they bite
It will be bright

Chorus
The Way, the Truth, and the Life
Your love I will never hide
I will shout Your name
No matter what they claim
One day every tongue will confess
But while there is still time left
I will share Your grace
Erase the hiding place
