Dear, Lord

I come to you

With my arms, my eyes, my heart opened wide

More than ever needing you

Held on to my hurt for too long

Blinded by my own pain

Too closed to receive your love

Now I’m ready for your reign

This world of smoke and mirrors

Makes it much harder to see

Learning from you makes it clearer

You gave me all I would need, and

Looking out and through your eyes

I see your power in me

Anything I speak to life

It will be, yeah

In this world of smoke and mirrors

I need your light to see

Leaving the darkness behind me

What I can’t change I release

Acting on my own, oh my God

Leads me to trouble and pain

Oh my God

I need a change

In this world of smoke and mirrors

I look to you

No more searching outside of you

No more

Looking to you I found my way

This world of smoke and mirrors (This world of smoke)

Makes it much harder to see (Harder to see)

Learning from you makes it clearer (Ooo)

You gave me all I would need, and (Oh glory to God)

Looking out and through your eyes (I see)

I see your power in me (Yes I see, yes I see)

Anything I speak to life

It will be, yeah (Let it be, let it)

In this world of smoke and mirrors (I thank you God, I thank you God)

I need your light to see (I need you more)

Leaving the darkness behind me (Yeah)

What I can’t change I release

Acting on my own, oh my God (Ooo)

Leads me to trouble and pain

Oh my God (Oh my God)

I need a change (In this world)

In this world, in this world (So full of smoke)

So full of smoke and mirrors

In this world, in this world (Mmm in this world)

So full of smoke and mirrors (So full of smoke)
