Emily Flaherty - The Lover's Gaze Lyrics

You've built up all these walls
So high you're stuck inside
When will you greet the Light?
You're still so much afraid
Of making a mistake
And seeming a disgrace
But that's not who you are
Mistakes can only leave the scars
Of where mercy kissed the place
So now lay all of it down
Let your stuff fall to the ground
Let your wounds be met with grace
You are beheld as good in the Lover's Gaze
So open up your fists
And no longer resist
The love He wants to give
This is the you He loves
Not the unsoiled dove
You think He's thinking of
So now lay all of it down
Let your stuff fall to the ground
Let your wounds be met with grace
Let your heart be seen
And embraced by His mercy
In His eyes you are worthy
You are beheld, secure, in the Lover's Gaze
So afraid to make mistakes
You miss the Lover's Gaze
Upon you just as you are
Battling your fallen state
You fight to keep your grace
As if worth was earned that way
But what if I were to say
He loves you just the same
It's in revealing all your pain
Your heart can heal from shame
In receiving all His love
Your confidence can come
You're good no matter what
Your worth was never lost
So let your garments fall
Oh, let Him have it all
To show you where you fall
Is where love catches all
Into all your shame
Now hear Him call your name
He stoops to lift your face
Now see the Lover's Gaze
It's who you are (It's who you are )
It's who you are (It's who you are )
It's who you are (It's who you are )
It's who you are (It's who you are )
It's who you are (It's who you are )
This is who you are
The beloved, chosen heart
He has known you from the start
May your eyes now see
This is the reality
In His love alone you're seen
You are beheld as good in the Lover's Gaze
You are beheld, secure, in the Lover's Gaze
You are beheld; you're held in the Lover's Gaze
