Dear John - Mandisa

Dear John how you doing

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 it cause I love you

So dear John here's the truth

There's 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 everyday

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

No don't let it get the best of you

Cause God 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's 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 everyday

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 do's and don't's

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)

There's 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 everyday

But it's up to you you get to choose

Your Father is waiting there with open arms

Dear John

Dear John

Dear John

Dear John
