I Don't
Thursday, September 21, 2023
I'm a masker through my wiring of Aspergers. I don't have to pretend (mask) as I walk with my Creator because he wove me in my mother's womb for a purpose and knows me as his child. He prepares the way and gives me courage. He provides over-flowing goodness each day that allows me to sing his praises throughout the day, but especially when I lay my head down to rest each night. He sees me through the highs and lows, the confusion, the over-stimulation that he calls me into so that he can use me; standing in the promise.
(I do not own the rights to the lyrics or music to this amazing song. I pray it touches hearts as God directs.)
I Don't Have to Pretend by Victory Boyd
Hold me near
I know that You heal me
My eyes crying tears
My heart in humility
Plead my case, I pour my complaints
Here at the altar
Why should I carry this weight?
Why should I suffer when I have a Savior
Who intimately cares for my sake?
Yes, I have a Savior who came to bear this grief in my place
I don't have to pretend like everything's okay
That's not what Jesus meant when He said to have faith
If you see me crying, I'm being true
Instead of lying about what I'm going through
I'm trusting God to heal my every wound
And I know He will, He makes all things new
All things new
Breathe, life and death
I need You to resurrect this heart
From the depths
One touch from You is all I request
Here at the altar
Why should I carry this weight?
Why should I suffer when I have a Savior
Who intimately cares for my sake?
Yes, I have a Savior who came to bear this grief in my place
I don't have to pretend like everything's okay
That's not what Jesus meant when He said to have faith
If you see me crying, I'm being true
Instead of lying about what I'm going through
I'm trusting God to heal my every wound
And I know He will, He makes all things new
I don't have to 'cause He makes all things new
All things new, all things new
I don't have to 'cause He makes all things new
All things new, all things new
I don't have to 'cause He makes all things new
(I don't have to 'cause He makes all things new)
Why should I carry this weight?
Why should I suffer when I have a Savior
Who intimately cares for my sake?
Yes, I have a Savior who came to bear this grief in my place
I don't have to pretend like everything's okay
That's not what Jesus meant when He said to have faith
If you see me crying, I'm being true
Instead of lying about what I'm going through
I'm trusting God to heal my every wound
And I know He will, He makes all things new
I don't have to 'cause He makes all things new
All things new, all things new
I don't have to 'cause He makes all things new
All things new, all things new
I don't have to 'cause He makes all things new
(I don't have to 'cause He makes all things new)
