Lose My Ability
Cageless Birds Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I lose my ability to be afraid
When I see the way you love me
All the fears that held my feet to the floor
They don't hold me anymore

When I see your face, everything changes
In the radiance of your smile
You got this way of chasing away those
Shadows that hang around
And I fall down again, I'm finding out who I am

I lose my ability to be afraid
When I hear you say my name
All the voices that once filled my head
They are gone when you speak

When I see your face, everything changes
In the radiance of your smile
You got this way of chasing away those
Shadows that hang around
And I fall down again, I'm finding out who I am





I lose my ability to be afraid
When I see the way you love me

Goodbye fear and goodbye shame
Goodbye hopelessness and pain
I have heard the Father call my name
Goodbye running, goodbye hiding
Goodbye heaviness and lying
The new has come, the old has washed away
Hello joy and hello truth
Hello love, I’ve longed for You
I’ve waited for this moment all my days
Hello mercy, hello peace
You have found me on my knees
I believe I’ll never be the same

‘Cause when I see Your face
Everything changes
In the radiance of Your smile
You got this way of
Chasing away those
Shadows that hang around

‘Cause when I see Your face
Everything changes
In the radiance of Your smile
You got this way of
Chasing away those
