I locked up my heart and I put on a show

I let the busyness of life be a wall so nobody gets close

Well I got a lot done, yeah, I'm so type a

But I'm finding arm's length is a safe but lonely place.

[Chorus]

So I'm gonna choose to reach out

Choose to lay down

All of the fear that I've been hiding

Choose to be brave

Though my heart's afraid

To be a part of your kingdom rising, oh...

God, I'm done running from

The reason that you sent your son

So I will choose to love.

Well it's always a risk and it's always a dare

But it's a far more dangerous thing to listen to fear

But it's a beautiful thing to know and be known

Yeah, there's a whole lot of life outside of my comfort zone.

[Chorus]

So I'm gonna choose to reach out

Choose to lay down

All of the fear that I've been hiding

Choose to be brave

Though my heart's afraid

To be a part of your kingdom rising, oh...

God, I'm done running from

The reason that you sent your son

So I will choose to love.

I'll choose to trust

Oh god, let my heart be tender in a world so tough

I'm gonna choose to love.

[Chorus]

I'm gonna choose to reach out

Choose to lay down

All of the fear that I've been hiding

Choose to be brave

Though my heart's afraid

To be a part of your kingdom rising, oh

God, I'm done running from

The reason that you sent your son

So I'm gonna choose to love

Maybe I'll hurt, maybe I'll bruise

Maybe I'll cry, maybe I'll lose

Still I will choose to love.
