I want to be transparent.
I want to be real.
I'm tired of the fake smiles, masks, and charades.
Church isn't a game to be played,
And being a Christian isn't a role to be performed.
This life wasn't meant to be a stage for us to shine,
We're just running the lights and pointing them to You.
Lord, I don't want to be seen,
But invisibility is not what I'm searching for.
I have a purpose that can't be achieved if I never let them see.
I want to meet You somewhere in the middle.
Let me be transparent,
Let me be real.
Peel back the layers, and uncover my disguise.
Give me strength to let the scars show.
Help me to not be a ashamed of these broken pieces.
You brought me together and made beauty from the ashes,
You created something new and I want them to see.
I want them to want what You've given freely to me.
Let my life be an advertisement promoting Your name.
Father, when the world looks at me,
I pray they see a mirror reflection of You.
