You Are More

Sometimes when I'm really busy living out life and going through a rough time, it seems as if everything I've ever done wrong is slapping me in the face.  I will often retreat to the car for some me and God time. I'll turn on the radio and then by the grace of God, a song will speak to me as if God has called in a special radio request just for me, his daughter, to hear. I will notice the words and they'll pour through the radio my ears to my heart. 


Sometimes God is the small voice in the background that we easily dismiss with all the background noise in our lives. Tune in and hear his love for you. 


Below is a video and lyrics to a song God recently requested me to hear. I hope it touches you as it did me. 


Be blessed,
LeiLani




  
You are More by Tenth Avenue North


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 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.
