OUT IN THE OPEN

They were the sweetest words I’d ever heard

My heart could barely take it in

Like water offered to the lips

Of a tired and thirsty man

’Cause it’s a tangled web I’ve woven

And I don’t know all the reasons

But it amazes me to wake up

To your mercy every morning

So I’m standing here and spinning ’round

In the fields of freedom

And I’m still alive and reaching out

And I can feel the healing

When you say

Come on out come on out, out in the open

Come on out come on out, into the light

There is no jury

There is no judge

Ready and waiting

Are the steady arms of love

For the sake of never making waves

I kept my secrets to myself

And no one ever really knew

The darker shadows of my heart

But I will be a witness

That there’s nothing in me dark enough

The power of forgiveness

Cannot rescue from the deep

So I’m standing here and spinning ’round

In the fields of freedom

And I’m still alive and reaching out

And I can feel the healing

When you say

Come on out come on out, out in the open

Come on out come on out, into the light

There is no jury

There is no judge

Ready and waiting

Are the steady arms of love
