Dear John Lyrics

Dear John,
How ya 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 this because I love you
so, Dear John, here's the truth

There is 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 every day
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
Don't let it get the best of you
'Cause took my broken parts
and gave me a brand new start
Now I'm walking, breathing, living proof
and, Dear John, He can do this for you

There is 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 every day
but, it's up to you,
you get to choose,
Your Father is waiting there with open arms

Dear John,
It's not a list of dos and don'ts
not a record of your faults
He gave his life to 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)

oh, ohoh
oh, ohoh
oh, ohoh

There's freedom on the other side of
things that keep us tied up and afraid
Oh, There's hope in every situation
no matter what you're facing every day
but, it's up to you,
(it's up to you)
you get to choose,
(you get to choose)
Your Father is waiting there with open arms

Dear John
Dear John
Dear John, ohhh
Dear John
