ALL PROCEEDS FROM THIS SONG GO TO FUND MY YWAM EXPENSES (tuition, outreach, travel). Read more about my testimony below :)
I wrote this song at the end of the summer, after a lot of major breakthroughs in my life. The lyrics were really simple, (which is typically not my style, haha) but God pretty much sang every word to me Himself. This is a live recording that was done in an hour, so one day I hope to be able to release a more well put together version, but I know that this song was put on my heart by the Father, so I feel a peace about releasing it. The content is about parts of my testimony; I had always felt like I was invisible, tossed aside, and that no one loved or cared about me. I always assumed I wasn't good enough, or that I was just a second choice. I grew comfortable in my brokenness, and learned to cope with my pain. I mean it was manageable enough. I hadn't realized how long I had been a slave to comparison and self-hatred until God spoke to me about how He felt about me, and that I wasn't comparable to anyone else in the world. I was hit with the realization that I was seen by Him. He loved me more than anyone else could, and He his heart wasn't for me to hurt all the time. He took my heart that had been shattered so many times and, instead of trying to just put the pieces back together, He handed me a new one.
Everything changed one day when I was lying on the floor, crying; I was an absolute wreck. I had never felt more alone in my life, and the lies of the enemy were attacking me from all sides. I cried out to Jesus, and in that moment, I felt physical arms come around me protectively. All of the shouts and screams of the devil were silenced, and I felt this overwhelming peace. Darkness faded away and it was like my eyes were opened; how had I been living like this when I had a Father in Heaven who loved me so deeply? I knew that I'd never want anyone else to feel the way I had. That's what assured me of my calling to minister to the broken, and speak self-worth and value into people. My heart is for everyone to know that they are loved and cared about by Abba Father, because His love transformed me. He found me.
