I know it's dumb to put random lyrics in a forum, but I couldn't help myself. This is for all the people that feel like they're alone in their struggles thru life... i heard this song by Casting Crowns for the first time a few days ago, and i think it's so true... God wants us to stop covering our scars, and start sharing our mistakes and fears with the body of Christ... something we need to do more often [color=#800080]Is there anyone that fails Is there anyone that falls Am I the only one in church today feelin’ so small Cause when I take a look around Everybody seems so strong I know they’ll soon discover That I don’t belong So I tuck it all away, like everything’s okay If I make them all believe it, maybe I’ll believe it too So with a painted grin, I play the part again So everyone will see me the way that I see them Are we happy plastic people Under shiny plastic steeples With walls around our weakness And smiles to hide our pain But if the invitation’s open To every heart that has been broken Maybe then we close the curtain On our stained glass masquerade Is there anyone who’s been there Are there any hands to raise Am I the only one who’s traded In the altar for a stage The performance is convincing And we know every line by heart Only when no one is watching Can we really fall apart But would it set me free If I dared to let you see The truth behind the person That you imagine me to be Would your arms be open Or would you walk away Would the love of Jesus Be enough to make you stay [/color] hope this gives ya'll some encouragement... i know it gave me some:)

I LOVE THAT SONG!!!! I heard it performed live in concert in October '05 and that song has such a great meaning behind it! To me it also means that we need to stop hiding our faith in Christ and share it with the world like we're all supposed to do as believers in Christ. Great song!

I've heard it several times, and I absolutely love it!
