Here I Go

If you've ever asked someone to marry you, you know how difficult it was to muster up that big question.  So much fear, anxiety, want for control, etc.  Not so much afraid that she'll say "yes", but afraid for all that "yes" includes.  This song was written just before I asked Heather to marry me, and I think it articulates well the inner conversations and motivations I was experiencing.  A word to all those planning to propose — if it's God's will, do not be afraid!  He will bless it.

Here I Go¹

Lyric

What you got hiding behind those eyes?
Are they concealing a big surprise?
Are they waiting to know me?
Are they eager to show me?
What you got hiding behind those eyes?

Am I moving too fast, am I moving too slow?
Will you take my hand and never let go?
Are you gonna say "yes", are you gonna say "no"?
Never know until I try — here I go

What you got hiding behind that smile?
Is it confident joy, is it faith of a child?
If I did not trust this, you would suffer a great injustice
What you got hiding behind that smile?

I'm gonna give this all I got
Here comes my best shot
It seems history has shown
You cannot fear the unknown
I am not afraid to try
