Afraid To Love

from C P R by Mychael John Thomas

/

about

This could be anyone's story, but it is especially mine. To love makes us vulnerable...That is a frightening prospect...But when we allow ourselves to love and be loved the reward is beyond words....

This song was originally written in 1990 and released on "A Matter Of Love Or Death" in 1991. I didn't change much of the lyric...

lyrics

AFRAID TO LOVE

By Mychael John Thomas

You’ve been hurt…Well I can understand
Name one who has never been
Tell me this…Would you refuse the hand
Of one who would be your friend
Jesus knows what you’ve been through
He wants to set you free of it
It’s a choice He’s leaving up to you
Now what you gonna do with it?

CHORUS
Are you just afraid to love
Maybe you’re afraid to trust
Evil is what fear’s made of
Don’t you wanna give it up
Afraid to love…Afraid to love

So you say that you can live alone
Well I know where you’re coming from
For a while you build a heart of stone
You say you don’t need anyone
Jesus knows everything you feel
He only wants to ease your pain
Take a chance on finding something real
He’ll show you how to live again

CHORUS SOLO

BRIDGE
He has not give us a spirit of fear
But one by which we call Him
Abba…Oh Father…For we are His children


We have not reached the perfection of love
If we’re looking for punishment
Perfect love has no fear but rather expels it


BRIDGE II
Why are we wandering when someone is waiting to
(Why… are we waiting)
Show us the reason that we were created
(We… were created)
To walk in the Spirit…In truth of the Savior
(Walk… in the Spirit with the)
The way of Salvation in God’s love forever
(Savior in God’s love forever)

SOLO

Afraid to love…But made for love
He gave His love…To save with love
