You Invite Me In
Meredith Andrews
Tuning: Standard
Time: 6/8
Intro: (4 bars with half-bar drum lead-in: )
[Verse 1:]
/
I’ve been search – ing
/
Wandering and hurt - ing
Ashamed of the shape I’m in
/ (Extra 1½ measures – )
Afraid you’ll see who I really am
[Chorus 1:]
But you invite me in
Doesn’t matter where I’ve been
Your arms are op - en wide
(Extra Measure - )
There’s nothing left to hide
[Verse 2:]
/
How can this be
/
A love so unfail - ing
Reached down and lifted me
/ (Extra 1½ measures – )
From ashes to beau - ty
[Chorus 2:]
And you invite me in
Doesn’t matter where I’ve been
Your arms are op - en wide
There’s nothing left to hide
You invite me in
Doesn’t matter who I’ve been
Your arms are op - en wide
(Extra measure – )
Holding me to your side
[Bridge:]
Now I am walking away from the life I once knew
And running into your grace
It covers my shame again and again
(Extra Measure – )
I find my life in you
(Chorus 2 – me->us, I->we, Piano only on first line)
[Outtro:]
/
Your arms are open wide
