Show Me
Adams Yolanda Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That no one but You can see
And in that place I'm really insecure
I've been hurt before by that
But I'm really sure You understand
Every tear I've cried
I bet You've cried a million more
How can I get back to where my smile I had was real
And I miss Your voice so much
Lord show me Your face
I'm longing for Your presence in this place
I give You all the pieces
'Cause you made a promise
You put me back together
Better than I was before
In the coldness of the night
I'm surrounded by Your light
Even in the darkness
You tell me don't be afraid
I am not afraid
After all that I've been through
I'm still valuable to you
So I run to Your arms
Where I'm safe within Your praise
And just in case I forgot to tell You
Don't ever let me go
I'm desperate for Your touch
And I miss Your voice so much
Lord show me Your face
I'm longing for Your presence in this place
I give You all the pieces
'Cause you made a promise
You put me back together
Better than I was before
Lord, show me your will
Until you do I promise that I'll be still
So, come and take these pieces and
You made me a promise
You put me back together
Better than I was before
Before I met You
Before I knew You
My heart ached for something that I could not explain
And then, when I saw You
I finally knew what I thought love was before had changed
Lord show me Your face
I'm longing for Your presence in this place
I give You all the pieces
'Cause you made a promise
You put me back together
Better than I was before

There is a place in me
I have an intimate part of me which is uniquely known only to You
That no one but You can see
This part of me is hidden from others, and only You have access to it
And in that place I'm really insecure
I feel very vulnerable and uncertain in that intimate part of me that You know
I've been hurt before by that
Because of past experiences, I've been wounded in that intimate place before
But I'm really sure You understand
But I believe that You empathize with my pain and understand me completely
Every tear I've cried
I have shed countless tears in my pain and sorrow
I bet You've cried a million more
I am confident that You have also wept countless times over my struggles and pain
How can I get back to where my smile I had was real
I desire to experience true joy and happiness again; to smile with sincerity
I'm desperate for Your touch
I am in a state of great longing and yearning to feel Your loving embrace
And I miss Your voice so much
I long to hear Your words and guidance again, as Your voice is a source of comfort and direction in my life
Lord show me Your face
I am requesting to experience Your presence in a tangible way
I'm longing for Your presence in this place
My soul desires for You to be near me and fill the emptiness I feel
I give You all the pieces
I surrender to You every broken and fragmented part of me
'Cause you made a promise
I have faith that You promised to restore and heal me, and make me whole again
You put me back together
I trust that You have the power to fully repair every broken part of me
Better than I was before
I believe that You will transform me into someone even better than who I was before my struggles and pain
In the coldness of the night
Even in the darkest and loneliest moments of my life
I'm surrounded by Your light
I know that Your love and presence surrounds me, bringing warmth and comfort to my soul
Even in the darkness
Even when I cannot see what's ahead, or understand what's happening
You tell me don't be afraid
You offer me reassurance and comfort, telling me to have courage and trust in You
I am not afraid
I take heart in Your words and promises, knowing that I am not alone or without hope
After all that I've been through
Despite all the hardships and pain that I have experienced
I'm still valuable to you
I remember that I am of great worth to You, and that You will never abandon me
So I run to Your arms
I flee to You for safety, comfort, and love
Where I'm safe within Your praise
I find security and peace as I worship You and bask in Your love
And just in case I forgot to tell You
In case I have not expressed it enough, or have forgotten to say it
Don't ever let me go
I plead with You to never let me leave Your side or lose Your love
Lord, show me your will
I pray to understand and follow Your plans and purpose for my life
Until you do I promise that I'll be still
I vow to patiently wait for Your guidance, and to not hastily make decisions without Your direction
So, come and take these pieces and
I ask You to take control of every part of me, even the broken and messy ones
You made me a promise
I trust in Your word and faithfulness to fulfill all Your promises to me
Before I met You
Before I knew You or experienced Your love
Before I knew You
Before I had a personal relationship with You
My heart ached for something that I could not explain
I felt a deep longing and emptiness that I could not comprehend nor find relief from
And then, when I saw You
When I encountered You and Your unconditional love for me
I finally knew what I thought love was before had changed
I discovered the true meaning and depth of love, and my perception of it was transformed
