Lay My Guard Down
written by Tanya Low
DEEPER STILL...
​
Honestly, I was also praying/singing this over some other people who seemed to have their guard up just like me. To the Holy Spirit. To whatever and however God wants to move. It's not in our natural self-preserving humanity to lay down this guard. Especially with all that has been happening in our culture. And we have literally been wearing masks. But the One with whom it is ALWAYS safe to be vulnerable with is God. He is the Living Water of whom we want more and more in these difficult times. Not someone to be afraid of and hold at arm's length. "Lord, give us humble hearts and show us where unhealthy pride is getting in the way of letting you in."
O my people, trust in him at all times. Pour out your heart to him, for God is our refuge. Interlude
Psalms 62:8 NLT

Do not stifle the Holy Spirit.
1 Thessalonians 5:19 NLT
https://bible.com/bible/116/1th.5.19.NLT
But those who drink the water I give will never be thirsty again. It becomes a fresh, bubbling spring within them, giving them eternal life.”
John 4:14 NLT
Lay My Guard Down
I have no song but what you sing to me
I have no life but what you breathe in me
Empty words unless you speak to me
My only hope is You in me
My only hope is You in me
So I lay my guard down at the door
I want more of You, Lord take control
Above all my thoughts,
Above all I know
Only true Love's touch
Can make me whole
So I lay my guard down
I admit my fear,
How it leaves me stumbling
Give me ears to hear you,
Even if it's humbling
Cut through the lies
I'm yielding to your sword
Spirit of Truth,
You're mine and I am yours
Spirit of God,
You're mine and I am yours
So I lay my guard down at the door
I want more of You, Lord take control
Above all my thoughts,
Above all I know
Only true Love's touch
Can make me whole
So I lay my guard down
Living water,
Flowing in and out through me
You love me and you want my heart
More than anything
More than anything...
So I lay my guard down at the door
I want more of You, Lord take control
Above all my thoughts,
Above all I know
Only true Love's touch
Can make me whole
So I lay my guard down
Oh, I'm trusting in You Jesus
I'm trusting in You Jesus
I'm trusting in You Jesus
Oh, I'm trusting in You Jesus
I'm taking you at your Word
I'm believing what you said to me
Down at your feet,
Only You,
Layin it down...
