Mandisa - Dear John lyrics

Dear John, How you doin' I've been thinking about you I'm not sure how to say it, But I've been praying daily For some kind of a breakthrough I've said this a thousand times And I know you don't see my side But I do it 'cause I love you So, dear John Here's the truth There's freedom On the other side of Things that keep us tied up and afraid There's hope in every situation No matter what you're facing everyday But it's up to you You get to choose Your Father is waiting there with open arms Dear John, People hurt you And you know I've been hurt too There's no way to escape it, Don't let your pain be wasted No, don't let it get the best of you 'Cause God took my broken parts And gave me a brand new start Now I am walking, breathing, living proof And, dear John, He can do this for you There's freedom On the other side of Things that keep us tied up and afraid There's hope in every situation No matter what you're facing everyday But it's up to you You get to choose Your Father is waiting there with open arms (Dear John) It's a not a list of do's and don'ts Not a record of your faults He gave his life pay it all (Dear John) He loves you just the way you are You are forgiven by His scars Just open up your heart, (your heart) There's freedom On the other side of Things that keep us tied up and afraid (Ho) there's hope in every situation No matter what you're facing everyday But it's up to you You get to choose Your Father is waiting there with open arms Dear John Oh Dear John Hm Dear John Dear John
