"So I hear there's a whole world out there
But I've grown to love this bed too much to leave it
If love really drives out fear
Then I pray it's her voice I've been hearing outside my door"
1 John 4:18
18There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.
He's referring to this verse I believe
Basically he is in love with his sin so much that he doesn't want to leave it, and is perhaps scared of being honest, or scared of trusting God completely.
"One more time, love, won't you come remind me
I'm someone believed in
I'm someone still within your reach
Cause all I've got is sleep
Against my fear of being swept away
By the wind, the undertow, and thought"
He's asking love (ie God) to show him that there's still hope and grace for him, cause he's afraid of where he is and how he's consumed in sin
"Awake! awake in the company of men given something to say
Give me a servant's heart and a tongue to obey"
Obeying God
"Tired head, take up your mat
Take your mat and walk"
Luke 20
20When Jesus saw their faith, he said, "Friend, your sins are forgiven."
21The Pharisees and the teachers of the law began thinking to themselves, "Who is this fellow who speaks blasphemy? Who can forgive sins but God alone?"
22Jesus knew what they were thinking and asked, "Why are you thinking these things in your hearts? 23Which is easier: to say, 'Your sins are forgiven,' or to say, 'Get up and walk'? 24But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins...." He said to the paralyzed man, "I tell you, get up, take your mat and go home." 25Immediately he stood up in front of them, took what he had been lying on and went home praising God.
