Past the Counterfeits (Where Are You, Come Find Me)

(Mmm, yeah...)

(Knock, knock, knock at my door...)

(Past the three tests, past the counterfeit gray...)

(Ruth chapter three verse nine is where I make my stand!)

(Listen close now)

Someone is knocking at my door again, echo in the night

Strange how every time I close the door on that old heartbreak

They just cannot let me go, trying to pull me to yesterday

I held on to that ghost for eight long years while shadows tried to stay

The devil sent three temptations straight unto my front door

And I know those three counterfeit doors were a test and nothing more

The first one liked it in between the sheets and nothing more at all

Calling out with just one word, saying come, hear my call

I gave in once, driving through the dark, desperate in my mind

Only because I wanted to feel something real I could not find

And the second I gave in, my spirit knew it was hollow and blue

It was empty and cold inside because it wasn't real, it wasn't true!

(It was never real, no...)

The second misses me more when he is far away from my space!

Puts me on a pedestal, calls me one of a kind to my face!

He is stable, but how do you teach new words when you do not relate?

Distance cannot bridge a spirit that does not fit or resonate!

Number three was the worst, oh how I cried when I wanted so much more!

Always someone else blocking, long-ago past saying no at my door!

Tempting me in every way, but never shared a kiss, just a secret in the shade!

Now you say let us be friends, whisper tell no one, but that box is going to fade!

[Vocal Stutter] (K-K-Knock at my door!)

Drop the gospel-soul beat!

I am done hiding in the gray, stepping straight into the light!

I am brave like Ruth walking through the threshing floor at midnight!

Laying at your feet in quiet until you wake up and finally see!

See me in all the radiant light you shine over me!

Where are you? Come find me! I will always be right here!

My heart has been waiting past every counterfeit test and fear!

Where are you? Come find me! Jair, the shadows know your name!

One day we will meet, and our true love will put the past to shame!

(Put it to shame, hallelujah!)

(Ooh-yeah, past the three tests tonight!)

(Ski-bi-di-bop, walking in His glorious light!)

(Yeah, yeah, come find me!)

Song of Songs chapter three verse four is ringing loud inside my soul!

By night on my bed I sought the one who makes my spirit whole!

Tell me, you whom my soul loves, where do you pasture your flock today?

Open to me, my sister, my darling, my dove, hear what I say!

I have been searching for you, looking high and low across the land

I have been wondering if you are looking for me and holding my hand

I have been calling for you, Jair, now that the shadows know your name

Have you been feeling chills upon your neck, feeling the holy flame?

I find myself dreaming of you, waking up without you in my view

Been thinking of you, baby, wondering if you pray for me too!

Number three was the worst, oh how I cried when I wanted so much more!

Always someone else blocking, long-ago past saying no at my door!

[Vocal Stutter] (S-S-Shadows evicted!)

I am done hiding in the gray, stepping straight into the light!

I am brave like Ruth walking through the threshing floor at midnight!

Laying at your feet in quiet until you wake up and finally see!

See me in all the radiant light you shine over me!

Where are you? Come find me! I will always be right here!

My heart has been waiting past every counterfeit test and fear!

Where are you? Come find me! Jair, the shadows know your name!

One day we will meet, and our true love will put the past to shame!

I am coming home, no longer carrying this burden out here alone

Past every shadow knocking at my door, my directions are made known

Every weekend that I do not see your face is a letdown in my mind

I miss our talks, our laughs, your sweet melody scripture intertwined

My heart has been waiting for you, past the three tests and counterfeit doors

You are the only one meant for me, I know you will say the same

I cannot get enough of you, I need your loving, calling on your name!

(Dry vocal, completely raw, whispering close to the mic)

Knock, knock, knock.

Brave like Ruth.

Where are you? Come find me, Jair.

I am coming home.

(A single soft piano chord cuts the track off)
