Holding the Key: Then Sings My Soul




Continuing my Jason Gray love fest this week with "Holding the Key." Jason minces no words in pointing out how we simultaneously desire both to be known and to hide our true selves. I pray everyone has someone who not only holds the key but uses it.



Holding the Key
Jason Gray

I came here tonight with a mission
To confess what I'm trying to hide
But here in the hour of decision
I want to give you the company line

There are secrets I don't want to tell you
And wounds you might not want to see
But they keep me bound to my sorrow
And I really want to be free
And you're the one holding the key

You don't have to give me an answer
An answer is the last thing I need
There's no magical cure for this cancer
I just need you to listen to me'
Cause You're the one holding the key

We were made with these hearts
Meant to be open
Then we locked them away
Afraid of being broken
But we're given each other to set it free
And you're the one holding the key

This dark room is perfect for hiding
But I don't want to hide anymore
You can't force the light here inside it
But you can help me open the door
You're the one holding the key

We were made with these hearts
Meant to be open
Then we locked them away
Afraid of being broken
But we're given each other to set it free
And you're the one holding
The key to the truth
Of what's really going on
Your listening ear
Is the grace of God
Love will take the shackles off
But you're the one holding the key

We all need it sooner or later
A safe place for telling the truth
I'm happy returning the favor'
Cause I'm holding the key for you

I think I'll ask for a JG CD for Christmas. You've turned me into a fan. I was so excited when they announced he was the one coming next.

It's kind of funny - after the concert last night, Jeff said, "And why don't we go to these all the time?" :-) So I've marked my calendar for Feb 11! (And I've not heard of Chasen either.)
