Come out of Hiding
“Come out of hiding, you’re safe here with me. There’s no need to cover what I already see.”
I was undone from the very first line. And months later, I’m still undone. Every single time I hear this song. I could write and write about all that these lyrics say of God’s heart. But instead of writing and writing, I simply invite you to listen to this song and let the Holy Spirit sing over you.
This is the Father’s heart: unhindered intimacy with His children, all barriers removed. Let everything within us say ‘yes’ to this invitation.
Out of Hiding (Father’s Song) by Steffany Gretzinger and Amanda Cook
Come out of hiding
You’re safe here with Me
There’s no need to cover
What I already see
You’ve got your reasons
But I hold your peace
You’ve been on lockdown
And I hold the key
‘Cause I loved you before you knew it was love
And I saw it all, still I chose the cross
And you were the one that I was thinking of
When I rose from the grave
Now rid of the shackles, My victory’s yours
I tore the veil for you to come close
There’s no reason to stand at a distance anymore
You’re not far from home
I’ll be your lighthouse
When you’re lost at sea
And I will illuminate
Everything
No need to be frightened
By intimacy
No, just throw off your fear
And come running to Me
‘Cause I loved you before you knew it was love
And I saw it all, still I chose the cross
And you were the one that I was thinking of
When I rose from the grave
Now rid of the shackles, My victory’s yours
I tore the veil for you to come close
There’s no reason to stand at a distance anymore
You’re not far from home
Keep on coming
And oh as you run
What hindered love
Will only become
Part of the story
Baby, you’re almost home now
Please don’t quit now
You’re almost home to Me
