Cover art for He lyrics by Jars of Clay

Though this song embodies a child abuse theme, it is also reflective of the abuse we feel as children of God. We often get frustrated with the expectations God holds up to us: "Well I try to make you proud, but for crying out loud - just give me a chance to hide away." Sometimes we just want to escape the all-seeing eye, as just or necessary it all seems.
