I can be real with You
Say anything and not be afraid
You made me and You like what you made
You made me and You don't make mistakes
I can be real with You
You take me just as I am
You choose me all over again
'Cause I am the one You love
I am the one You love
I don't have to prove anything
There's room at Your table for me
'Cause I am the one You love
I am the one You love
I know You're proud of me
Even though I don't deserve it sometimes
No, I'm not a perfect child
But I still make my Father smile
I know You're proud of me
You take me just as I am
You choose me all over again
I am the one You love

Hey, You call me brother
Hey, how could this be?
A king, my friend
His righteousness
But still my friend
In all His holiness
And still my friend
Even though he's perfect
He's still my friend
He is closer than a brother
Than a mother or a father
Still my friend
In all his greatness and his holiness
Still my friend
I can call on Him when I need Him
He's still my friend
I can call on Him when I need Him
He's still my friend
I can call on Him when I need Him

Never to busy to answer His son

The song begins by acknowledging our ability to be real with God, to say anything and not be afraid. This speaks to the intimacy we can have in our relationship with Him, knowing that we can come to Him with all our joys, fears, doubts, and insecurities.

Another verse that relates to the song is Ephesians 2:4-5, which says, "But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved." This verse emphasizes that God's love for us is not based on our own worthiness or goodness. It is purely out of His great love and mercy that He saved us and made us alive in Christ.
