Friday, February 25

you are more.

there's a girl in the corner 
with tear stains on her eyes
from the places she's wandered 

and the shame she can't hide.
she says, 

"how did i get here? 
i'm not who i once was.
and i'm crippled by the fear 

that i've fallen too far to love."

but don't you know who you are,
what has been done for you?
don't you know who you are?

you are more than the choices that you've made.
you are more than the sum of your past mistakes.
you are more than the problems you create.
you've been remade.

well she tries to believe it, 

that she's been given new life.
but she can't shake the feeling 

that it’s not true tonight.
she knows all the answers 

and she's rehearsed all the lines,
so she'll try to do better 

but then she's too weak to try


but don't you know who you are?

you are more than the choices that you've made.
you are more than the sum of your past mistakes.
you are more than the problems you create.
you've been remade.



you are more than the choices that you've made.
you are more than the sum of your past mistakes.
you are more than the problems you create.

you've been remade.

‘cause this is not about what you've done,
but what's been done for you.
this is not about where you've been,
but where your brokenness brings you to.
this is not about what you feel 

but what He felt to forgive you
and what He felt to make you new



you are more than the choices that you've made.
you are more than the sum of your past mistakes.
you are more than the problems you create.
you've been remade.



you are more than the choices that you've made.
you are more than the sum of your past mistakes.
you are more than the problems you create.
you've been remade.



you've been remade.
you've been remade.
you've been remade.
you've been remade.


"you can't live for God until you learn how to live because of God. and you can't go and make good choices for God until you understand the Gospel that says the choices you make don't make you who you are. what Christ has done for you makes you who you are."
