remade.

I don't even have words to explain what this song does to my soul each time I hear it. I heard it at work the other day and the Lord opened my ears to the words (that I must have heard a thousand times). I think it was written for me. No, really. So, watch it (and make sure to read the lyrics I posted with it).


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 snot 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 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 are more,' Tenth Avenue North

"But God demonstrates his own love for us in this:
While we were still sinners, Christ died for us."
Romans 5:8

It's truth. Believe it. And remind me of it.
You've been remade. (and so have I)

"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation;
the old has gone, the new has come!"
2 Corinthians 5:17

Love,
B
