In the Open Lyrics

“In the Open” is the whole inspiration of this album, specifically coming from Psalm 18:19, “He brought me into wide open spaces; he rescued me because he delighted in me.” Our fears can become our prison—but so can our past...or our comfort. This song journeys through the courage it takes to let go of what we thought was life to step into a strange new beauty beyond the shadows.

VERSE 1

Watching it burn, watching it fade

Shedding away what has to leave

Watching it hurts, why can’t I stay

Safely inside my own sweet hiding

PRE CHORUS

But I’m letting go

Oh

Now I’m letting go

CHORUS

I’m standing in the open, in the open

I’m fighting for redemption to be spoken

I’ve waited for this moment to be known and

There’s hope in the open

I see it now

There’s hope in the open

VERSE 2

Taking a step, I hold out my hands

Out in this open land, you see me

Redemption is yours, and trusting is mine

I’m walking into a strange new beauty

PRE CHORUS

Now I’m letting go

Oh

Now I’m letting go

CHORUS

I’m standing in the open, in the open

I’m fighting for redemption to be spoken

I’ve waited for this moment to be known and

There’s hope in the open

I know it now

There’s hope in the open  

BRIDGE

I’m standing in the open, please show your heart

I’m fighting for redemption in every part

I’ve been waiting for this moment … now here we are

Here we are

Here we are

CHORUS

I’m standing in the open, in the open

I’m fighting for redemption to be spoken

I’ve waited for this moment to be known and

There’s hope in the open

I see it now

There’s hope in the open   

I know it now

There’s hope in the open

I feel it now

There’s hope in the open
