You Go Beyond My Silent Feelings

Sometimes we push our thoughts deep down inside. We try and surpress the doubts and fears and voices that tourment us. We make mistakes and trip up and feel defeated at times. We can feel wounded and beyond repair. A scary thought I've often faced is the one that "It's too late." The idea that too much time has passed and that whatever good intentions I have to do whatever I am striving for have passed me by, and that I will forever live with the guilt of my wasted opportunities and times. This song speaks to those feelings of failures that can sound so loud, and it reminds me that God will never let me go. His kindness is remarkable.

You know and You see
The times of my defeat
When I fail to realize
Your kindness reaches
Through all my fragile fears
Of wasting any years
And I see
You go beyond
My silent feelings

Even when I wrote my life away
You still receive me
Even when I wrote my life away
You still receive me

You took this fading heart
And softened every part
I'll rest in light of what
You've promised to me

I'll always stay strong
Because I feel You holding on now
To You I belong and I know
And You heal me
And You heal me
And You heal me

Cause I feel Your forearms around me
And I know that I'll never escape from You
