I watched you cry your eyes out
Now tell me what you've done
I would shut you out
And leave you here alone
I was right there with you
I won't let you sink
No, I forgive you
Don't be
Grace needs a little more freedom
Phobic
Don't be
Love needs room to breathe
I've never walked away
I hold your heart
So, don't ever be afraid
And I feel when you need
I won't let you sink
No, I forgive you
You can be free
You can know peace
Never be afraid again
Never be afraid
He's here
At first God is singing this song to someone, to us, or at least someone who has been saved sings to us what God has spoken to her/him. These lines are clearly the works of God/God related: I've watched you grow, I've stood in your shadow, I've never walked away. I hung the stars and I hold your heart. I feel when you need, I won't let you sink, No, I forgive you.
The lines: 'You can be healed....' can be God singing to someone, to us, or can be someone who has been saved letting another, us, know that we too can feel the goodness. Clearly the last line 'He's here' is another saved soul/believer telling someone, us, that God is in our presence.
Love this song!
This song's about forgiveness and the comfort you can find in genuine repentance.
more specifically it's about god's grace.
I think it's a prime example of what God's perfect love is supposed to be. Forgiveness (I have learned) is an enormous part of loving someone else. Watching someone be weak and hurtful and selfish, and forgiving them anyway.
I'm not even sure I'm a christian, but I adore this song. It's meant alot in my marriage.
I think it's God talking to a person who has walked away and is scared of coming to God because he/she is ashamed and isn't sure what to expect from God.
