Come In

Not all songs are for everyone. This song was written for those struggling with shame. Verse 1 [verse] I came with all my silences and shadows A stranger to the world and to myself I stood there at the door not sure of welcome I raised my hand to knock — and heard "come in" Revelation 3:20; Luke 15:20–24; John 14:2–3; Psalm 27:8 Chorus [chorus] No striving at the door, no case to make Just warmth that met me on the way in I walked inside and knew I was expected I didn't know Home could feel this way Romans 5:8; Ephesians 2:19; John 14:23; Isaiah 60:1 Verse 2 [verse] I never knew the noise until the quiet No more waiting for the shoe to drop The walls shame built in secret — torn down now Life is bigger than I ever dared to hope Romans 8:15; Galatians 5:1; Isaiah 54:14; Ephesians 2:14 Chorus [chorus] No striving at the door, no case to make Just warmth that met me on the way in I walked inside and knew I was expected I didn't know Home could feel this way Verse 3 [verse] Sometimes I catch a shadow of before Sometimes the weight comes looking for its place But I am too full now to let it in I live in the open — I have found my space Romans 8:1; Galatians 5:1; Philippians 4:7; Colossians 3:3 Chorus [chorus] No striving at the door, no case to make Just warmth that met me on the way in I walked inside and knew I was expected I didn't know Home could feel this way Bridge [bridge] I want to stay here in this light forever Grateful to the One who gave all And somehow bring every shadow that I know To this door — to this warmth — to this welcome 2 Corinthians 5:18–20; Matthew 10:8; John 8:12; Psalm 34:5 Chorus — Final [chorus] No striving at the door, no case to make Just warmth that met me on the way in I walked inside and knew I was expected I didn't know Home could feel this way
