Transparent
Broomtree Lyrics

We like to hide behind the walls we make ourselves
We tend to build barriers around us and intentionally conceal our true selves.

We like to think that we're strong without any help
We often convince ourselves that we don't need assistance and can handle everything on our own.

We try to be just as thick as we think we should be
We strive to project an image of ourselves that we think is tough and impenetrable.

So the weakness inside (we think) won't be seen
We try to mask or hide our vulnerability and flaws from others.

We need to show each other honesty and charity
It's important to be truthful and generous towards one another.

And let the whole world see our transparency
We must embrace openness and reveal our true selves to the world.

Where the words we speak are the lives that they see
Our spoken words reflect the way we live our lives and how others perceive us.

And in troubled times show the peace that we find
During difficult times, we should demonstrate the calmness and serenity that comes from our faith.

Through His Spirit in us and His hand in our lives
We rely on God's presence and guidance to navigate through life.

We like to make up our minds on what we believe
We tend to form our own opinions and beliefs.

We like to give out advice but seldom receive
We often offer guidance to others but rarely accept it ourselves.

When will we learn to accept the grace that He gives
We need to learn to receive God's grace and not just offer it to others.

And let our worship be shown in the lives that we live?
Our faith should be reflected in the way we live and treat others.
