How afraid I've been
How afraid I've been
by Joel Howard
I'm covered
In shackles
In ashes I sit
Injustice
Clothes my bones
A fearful bandit
Ashamed
Introspective
Defending my soul
From God
Who with his breath and wind
Would help me regain control
How afraid I've been
How afraid I've been
Bound in sin
How afraid I've been
Afraid to let you in
Afraid of the space I'm in
How afraid, How afraid I've been
I'm a mess
I'm in bondage
Before it starts, I quit
Injustice
Like a famine
Has claimed my soul
So fearful
Perpetually lying
Defending my soul
From Jesus
Who with his breath and wind
Would build up these walls again
How afraid I've been
How afraid I've been
Bound in sin
How afraid I've been
Afraid to let you in
Afraid of the space I'm in
How afraid, How afraid I've been
O Jesus! Clear my record straight
O Jesus! Come renew my faith
O Jesus! Call me once again
How afraid I've been
How afraid I've been
O Savior! Come renew my mind
O Savior! Heal what once was blind
O Savior! It is freedom time
How afraid I've been
How afraid I've been
How afraid I've been
How afraid I've been
Bound in sin
How afraid I've been
Afraid to let you in
Afraid of the space I'm in
How afraid, How afraid I've been
