It's been quite a while. I ventured off into Christian/Gospel Rap that I'm still really enjoying the message and energy of. There haven't been new worship songs per se that caught my attention. Until this set of songs from Melissa and Jonanthan Helser. (They did Abba that's quite a ways back in this list.)
I didn't know my heart and soul needed a song until I heard this one. The line "the One who knows me best, is the One who loves me most" is healing me. I feel utterly unknown in this world. Yet there's always a still, quiet voice that says "God knows" every time I think "who knows" or "who cares".
Que the tears...
I’ve heard the accusation
And I’ve heard the propaganda
I’ve heard the lies they whispered to my soul
That I have been forsaken
And I’ll always be forgotten
No matter what I do it’s not enough
But then I heard a voice
As it opened up the heavens
Reminding me of who I’ve always been
I am Your beloved, You have bought me with Your blood
And on Your hand You’ve written out my name
I am Your beloved, one the Father loves
Mercy has defeated all my shame
There’s no accusation, or any condemnation
When I look into my Father’s eyes
They don’t see my sin, they only see redemption
This is how my heart has been defined
I can hear a voice
That is louder than the thunder
Reminding me of who I’ve always been
I am Your beloved, You have bought me with Your blood
And on Your hand, You’ve written out my name
I am Your beloved, one the Father loves
Mercy has defeated all my shame
The One Who knows me best
Is the One Who loves me most
There is nothing I have done
That could change the Father’s love
Oh the One Who knows me best
Is the One Who loves me most
There is nothing I have done
That could change the Father’s love
Oh the One Who knows me best
Is the One Who loves me most
There is nothing I have done
That could change the Father’s love
I am Your beloved, You have bought me with Your blood
And on Your hand You’ve written out my name
I am Your beloved, one the Father loves
Your mercy has defeated all my shame
I am Your beloved, You have bought me with Your blood
And on Your hand You’ve written out my name
I am Your beloved, one the Father loves
And Your mercy has defeated all my shame
I can hear the feet of the Father running
I can hear the feet of the Father running
Oh I can hear the feet of the Father running
Oh I can hear the feet of the Father running
It’s like a stampede of grace
Coming my way
Mercy I never earned
Grace I never deserved
Coming to bring me home again
I can hear the Father calling my name
I can see the face of my Father
I can hear the voice of my Father calling out my name
I can hear the Father
I can hear the heart
I can hear the heart of my Father
Here He comes, here He comes, here He comes
Oh the One Who knows me best
Is the One Who loves me most
There is nothing I have done
That could change the Father’s love
Let’s sing it
Oh the One Who knows me best
Is the One Who loves me most
There is nothing I have done
That could change the Father’s love
