Say it to me now...

As I return to the Great Life after all these years away, my heart goes back to a difficult time in my life when I thought my marriage would end. My wife and I talked all the time, but never at the depth I longed for. I thought if either of us ever truly spoke openly about the pain, anger, and fear in our hearts, it would just tear us apart. There was one song that inspired us to drop all the walls and be totally real with each other. It was terrifying, but after we both screamed and cried our eyes out, we emerged on the other side of grace, filled with love for one another like never before:

Say it to me now
by Beth Nielsen Chapman

Faith can blind you
and love can be too kind.
The truth may find you
running from the way you feel inside.

Say it to me now.
Say it to me anyway.
Everything your heart would say
if all the walls came down.
Say it to me now,
even if the truth tears us apart
I need to feel the closeness
of knowing what's in your heart.

Eyes are like windows.
Oh, and I've tried but I can't see
what makes you cry your eyes closed
and stay a million miles away from me.

Say it to me now.
Say it to me anyway
everything your heart would say
if all the walls came tumbling down.
Say it to me now
even if the truth tears us apart.
I need to feel the closeness
of knowing what's in your heart.

Say it to me now.
Say it to me anyway,
everything your heart would say
if all the the wall are tumbling down.
Say it to me now,
even if the truth tears us apart.
I need to feel the closeness,
I need to feel the closeness,
I need to feel the closeness,
of knowing what's in your heart.
