I know that people aren't fond of reading song lyrics or listening to songs from You Tube on blogs. But here I've posted both.

It is a song from Amy Grant's album that was just released today. (I can hear the groans, "Ugh, Amy Grant.") But there is a very real reason that I've posted it.

Sometimes we have feelings inside of us that we have no idea how to express. We have no idea how to put them into words. And then a song lyric comes along, and we say, "That's how I feel. That's what I've been trying in vain to say."

This is what Amy Grant has to say about the song:

“I included this 1996 recording because it is so raw and was so true at the time.
Pain isolates us. Nobody knows when you’re smiling on the outside and dying on
the inside: except the one who stands at the door and knocks.”


So here I post the lyrics to "Come Into My World", along with a video of Amy Grant singing the song. I hope that you put aside any dislike you have for Amy Grant or her music, and give the lyrics some thought, if for no other reason because the song made me cry and say "Yeah...."

Come into my world • Come crashing through the ceiling • And
find the messy rooms, the scattered pearls • If you are brave then
come into my world

Come into my world • So lovely from the outside • So dark in here
the demons dance and twirl • And find their pleasure frightening
this girl • If you are brave then come into my world

Cause I never saw the changes come • Or knew enough to run
when this old house had come undone • And now I’m buried in
the walls • And no one comes to call but you

Come into my world • Come into my world

Come into my world • I can not find the doorway • It’s overgrown
with vines that twist and curl • If you are brave then
come into my world

Come into my world • There’ll be no other invitation • Not
another sound another word • Nothing more than you’ve already
heard • Please be brave and come into my world
