You Are More

We have all been told at one time or another that we will not amount anything, but that is not true because we have been created to serve and honor the Lord. There are people out there that are blinded to the truth of their soul's state. They look at themselves and say that there is no need for God in my life, and they go on about living like He does not exist. Whether we choose to acknowledge or not acknowledge His presence; He is there waiting for us. Don't ever forget that your life is of value to God. He uses the less than perfect people to do what He has called us to do, and that is proclaim Christ and Him crucified. With that in mind, we need to proclaim His salvation. Show that you have worth in Christ.

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
(There are things that we have done that we are not proud of, but even those things are covered by the blood of Christ's sacrifice. All He asks is that we confess our sins, that He is faithful and just to forgive us of our sins.)

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"
(No matter how deep we fall, God's arm long enough to reach us and bring us out of the pit that we have caught ourselves in. There are questions that we ask ourselves, but those questions that we have can be answered by God. Look into the Word of God and you will find what He is able to do for the unlovely.)


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
(We have our doubts about anything new. Once you have received Christ as Savior; you are not forgotten. We are imperfect, but we are loved by a perfect God.)

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
(It only takes what little faith we have to accept salvation. We have been weakened by sin. God gives us the strength to face all the things that we come up against.)

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. 
(We have been remade from the inside out.)

'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
(I cannot say it enough, but I will say it again God orchestrated everything and He will finish what He started. When things seems broken; there is One who can put things back together.)

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.

You've been remade
You've been remade.
You've been remade.
You've been remade.
