you reach for me, i tried to avoid you
fear grips my heart, it's a deep paranoia that i'll be alone if i reach back to you
too busy protecting, can't see i'm rejecting you
for self preservation steals the joys of sweet adoration
self preservation steals the joys of sweet adoration

for i was made for love's embrace, to hear words that are spoken with grace, with a hand in mine, together to face the trials of life
you say you'd never leave me, so i'll be found believing you

you say my name, and i can't ignore you
you presence comes in and my heart just adores you
if i could let go that i'm not good enough
can't see what i'm missing when shame blurs my vision of you

Jesus i know, self preservation steals the joys of sweet adoration
for self preservation steals the joys of sweet adoration

i was made for love's embrace, to hear words that are spoken with grace, with a hand in mine, together to face the trials of life
you say you'd never leave me, so i'll be found believing you

for self preservation steals the joys of sweet adoration
there is an answer for loneliness
self preservation steals the joys of sweet adoration
there is an answer for loneliness
there is an answer

he said when we love him, when we obey his commands, that he would make his home with us...
