You are more... I am more... This song is a good reminder!

Have you heard this song by Tenth Avenue North?  "You Are More"  It's one of the songs I've heard the past couple of weeks on the radio.  One of the songs that struck me as powerful and deep a few weeks back.  I've heard it since.  I wanted to share it.

Though the song uses "she", I'm sure there are lots of males that can relate as well.  We all make and/or have made poor choices.  And, there is hope for each of us as well.

I would guess that most every single person reading this could relate to the song, whether you're thinking about very distant past mistakes, problems, and choices or recent ones.  The pain is real.  So is the healing.  I've got my stories too.  Past, present, and future. (We don't stop messing up just because we're following Christ.  In fact, I've probably messed up more on my faith journey than prior.)

So, check out this song. 

May it bring you encouragement on your journey.

Here are the lyrics:

"You Are More", Tenth Avenue North. (from The Light Meets The Dark album)

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's been done for you?
Yeah 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
And 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 loved.

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.
