The first thing that I wanted to mention from the lyrics is the first line “I can be real with you.” This is an important line. It took me a while to understand that I can be real with Jesus. I believe many times we can be afraid to express to Jesus how we really feel. We are afraid that we will somehow make Jesus mad. But there are instances in the Bible where people got real with Jesus.
I can be real with You
Say anything and not be afraid
You made me and You like what You made
You made me and You don't make mistakes
I can be real with You
You take me just as I am
You'd choose me all over again
I am the one You love
I am the one You love
I don't have to prove anything
There's room at Your table for me
I am the one You love
I am the one You love
I know You're proud of me
Even though I don't deserve it sometimes
No, I'm not a perfect child
But I still make my Father smile
So, I know You're proud of me [1]
