Dear John Lyrics - Overcomer - 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 

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 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 

Your 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 

(Ho) 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 

Oh 

Dear John 

Hm 

Dear John 

Dear John
