Wounded, some way or other, each one is wounded, somewhere inside
Feeling shameful and guilty, so well defended, trying to hide
Scared to face the fear we hold,
Frightened to reach out
Hidden stories never told
Buried deep in doubt
Lord, you know we need Your Grace and Mercy
For we are to blame
Fill us with Your Strength and Courage
Crucify our shame
Lord,grow us some more
Help us make the next move
Help us take the next step
So our lives can improve
Lord, grow us some more
Help us open our hearts
Let us heal in Your Love
Help us make a new start
Crying with hidden sadness, aching and hurting, fighting despair
Weighed down by deep resentments, clouding our vision, needing repair
Holding fast to habits that just reinforce our fear
Problematic old solutions keep us stuck right here
Lord, you know we need Your Grace and Mercy
For we are to blame
Fill us with Your Strength and Courage
Crucify our shame
Lord,grow us some more
Help us make the next move
Help us take the next step
So our lives can improve
Lord, grow us some more
Help us open our hearts
Let us heal in Your Love
Help us make a new start
Help us trust enough to let go now of all defense
Break out of our comfort zone and live, in every sense
Tune us in to hidden courage, so we can break out
Of the tangled snares that bind us, help us turn about
Lord, you know we need Your Grace and Mercy
For we are to blame
Fill us with Your Strength and Courage
Crucify our shame
Lord,grow us some more
Help us make the next move
Help us take the next step
So our lives can improve
Lord, grow us some more
Help us open our hearts
Let us heal in Your Love
Help us make a new start
