so it seems many people have enjoyed the song i recently put up on facebook. that, or they just enjoyed making fun of my big hair at the end of a long day. either way, a good number of people have commented on it. so that’s cool.

but for those of you who don’t know, i just wanted to let you in a little secret: this song wasn’t written for it’s musicality, for masterful lyrics or a catchy melody. it was written to express a feeling, a thought. it’s been a long few weeks and i’ve been feeling like a failure more and more (some of that has to do with the limited amount of sleep i’ve been getting). but one recent night, while i was feeling sorry for myself, i was attacked by the notion that God still loves me regardless. and so that’s what i wrote that song about.

it’s about falling, about failing, about hurting worse than ever, about constantly letting yourself and others down. it’s about hurting friends, breaking promises and telling lies. it’s about the deepest darkest parts of me. but it’s also about the overwhelming dedication and selflessness of Jesus, with each refrain acting as a love song from Him to me.

simply put, this song is about grace. so be warned, be convicted, but be encouraged and inspired, because you are loved.
