Dear John
Mandisa

Dear John, How you 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 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

The 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 am 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

The Father is waiting there with open arms


Dear John, It’s a not a list of do’s and don’ts

Not a record of your faults

He gave his life 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

The Father is waiting there with open arms


Dear John, dear John, dear John, dear John...
