  • Cory Asbury’s reimagined version of “Dear God”, from his recent album To Love A Fool, features a strong and familiar voice - his wife Anna Asbury. Cory has named the song the most honest and vulnerable he’s ever written. It explores what it feels like to fail God (on a near-daily basis), and yet try to let Him love us in spite of it all.
    Verse 1
    Dear God, I’ve been trying awful hard to make You proud of me
    But it seems the harder that I try, the harder it becomes
    And I feel like giving up
    Most of the time
    Verse 2
    Dear God, I’ve been chasing their approval and it’s killing me
    And I know the more I try to prove the less I have to show
    And I’m stuck inside my head
    Most of the time
    Pre Chorus
    But if I pray a little harder
    If I follow all the rules
    I wonder could I ever be enough
    Chorus
    ‘Cause I try and try
    Just to fall back down again
    And I ask myself why
    Do I try to chase the wind
    I should lean into the mystery
    Maybe hope is found in a melody
    So I wanna try again
    Oh, I’m gonna try again
    Verse 3
    Dear child, I hope you know how much I love you and I’m proud of you
    Please believe the thoughts I have for you will never change or fade away
    When you felt like giving up
    I never did
    Pre Chorus 2
    I’m not scared of imperfections
    Or the questions in your head
    Just know that you have always been enough
    Chorus 2
    ‘Cause you tried and tried
    And I saw you wrestle with
    Every how, every why
    I was right there listening
    So just fall into the mystery
    And I’ll meet you here in the melody
    Try just to try again
    Oh child would you try again
    My child you can love again
    Written by Cory Asbury and Aodhan King

    I fasted for 10 or 12 days and as I was reading The Holy Bible, the words came alive to me. Afterwards one of my relatives walked in and I saw her in the spirit I saw that all the name brand bags she was purchasing was to fill the emptiness in her heart. So I decided to go into my bedroom to pray for her, and as I prayed and opened up my mouth, The Holy Spirit fell on me like fire, and I started to speak in tongues. I've never been the same person after that, JESUS is LORD.

    So many Christians (maybe ALL of us at one time or another) become convinced that we are required to do things FOR God; and Jesus never said that. He called us to die to us and live IN and THROUGH Him. We come to Him with our failure and mess AND our successes which are also nothing compared to God's glory, and we absorb HIM, our Father, Our Love, our Power, our Strength, and we walk in the Holy Spirit. We are CHILDREN learning from Daddy, letting God Himself disciple us. We have no grades. It's not like school where we move from one grade to another with markers that say we achieved something. We WALK and learn and listen and speak with OUR FATHER WHO LOVES US.

      We don't need to work as in Christ all has been to the believers. Humanity struggles with working trying to obtain what is theirs already because of unbelief. That's the Fall of Man. We put off the old man and put on Christ daily. Genesis 2-3; Colossians 1-3.

    The two verses of the song obviously represent a conversation between anyone and God. What I really like and found interesting is that Anna represented God in this song, which is amazing because God, besides the fact that he has the qualities of a father, he also has the gentle, comforting, soft qualities of a mother. And Corry is the one who is pouring out his feelings to God even tho in today's word men are expected to be tough and women are expected to be more sentimental and expressive. I think the message of the song is well delivered to the listener just by doing that.
    Great job! Keep being inspired by God!🥰

    This song resonates with me so much. I can’t help but burst into tears every time I hear it. My little brother, who is 14, struggled with bad depression, and it seemed like it would take over him. The anxiety I had during that time was the worst, and sometimes it comes back and fills my head with negative thoughts and “what if’s”. I found myself walking on eggshells. I couldn’t sleep until I knew that my little brother was okay, and I still find myself in these situations. “I’m stuck inside my head most of the time.” Those replies from Jesus relieve me so much. “When you feel like giving up, I never did.” I pray for my little brothers every night. (I also have a 7 year old brother.) During that dark time, I kept saying to myself during prayer, “The enemy will not claim my little brother. Jesus will win this battle. God will win this battle.” Here we are, a month later. My little brother reached out to our youth group leaders, and they lifted him up unlike anything. He felt loved. We performed worship at our childhood friends’ father’s new church this past Easter Sunday, and he was happy because of the Holy message being spread as well as the positive feedback we got from the audience. (That boy LOVES music. His powerful voice and piercing guitar make him unstoppable.) Things are great. My family and I are well, and my brothers are great. God is good, and I know He will continue to guide my brothers in His direction. I know I’m not perfect, far from it, actually. The Lord knows I love my brothers beyond anything. I just pray that whenever either of my brothers have problems, that they would share their burdens with Him instead of the world, and that my musically inclined brother is used as a vessel to lift up people who went through the same things he did. God bless.🙏🏼❤️

I’m not saying this was where your little brother was headed but you did the right thing by never giving up on him and praying. Prayers works.

    Dear God
    I've been trying awful hard to make You proud of me
    But it seems
    The harder that I try, all the harder it becomes
    And I feel like giving up
    Most of the time
    Dear God
    I've been chasing their approval and it's killin' me
    And I know
    The more I try to prove
    All the less I have to show
    And I'm stuck inside my head
    Most of the time
    But if I pray a little harder
    If I follow all the rules
    I wonder, could I ever be enough?
    'Cause I try and try
    Just to fall back down again
    And I ask myself why
    Do I try to chase the wind?
    I should lean into the mystery
    Maybe hope is found in a melody
    So I wanna try again
    Oh, I'm gonna try again
    And dear child
    I hope you know how much I love you and I'm proud of you
    And please believe
    The thoughts I have for you will never change or fade away
    And when you felt like giving up
    I never did
    'Cause I'm not scared of imperfections
    Or the questions in your head
    Just know that you have always been enough
    'Cause you tried and you tried
    And I saw you wrestle with
    Every how, every why
    I was right there listening
    So just fall into the mystery
    And I'll meet you here in the melody
    Try, just to try again
    Oh, child would you try again?
    My child you can love again

    When you published the video of Dear God, I was in the middle of my conversion, your song helped me so thank you very much Cory!
    I cry almost everytime I listen to this, but mainly for one reason: my wife.
    She' shad such a hard period the past year, even moving further away from faith. I begged God every day to help me assist her spiritual "comeback" and be there for her as much as possible. A few weeks after that video came out, I took our two children to grandma, turned on this video on our TV, said to my wife: "sit here, listen to this song, I'll be outside." After 5-6 minutes I came back in and ...what a sight! She's crying like a baby. She didn't say a word to me, just hugged me and continued crying.
    The following weeks I have been gently reminding her that God is so close and loving her, I invited her to pray with me more often, to go to confession and mass more often etc. We're trying to find time to go to Međugorje soon (which I feel will work miracles to her faith), and now she's much more stable and happy, which is clearly noticable. She's definitely back on her path and I can't wait to exerience God's hand in her/our future.
    Why am I writing this? Because this song STRONGLY reminds me of that time she was suffering and it's such a positive song because it stands for overcoming hard times - because our God is with us. I am so humbled that I am helping God with her. And I want to say that "Dear God" is almost a symbol for God's triumph in her life! Thank you Cory so much.

    "My child, just try to love again."
    This last part hit me because Forgiving someone is an act of love. I think the reason why I still get stuck in my past is because I still hadn't loved my way through it. The thoughts of the past still come up and I never actually get through it. To whoever reads this, maybe whatever you keep dealing with is there to produce the character of Love that God created you with.

    My son had been struggling so hard with just being himself but he’s a people pleaser and has lost his faith in God and his spirit has been crushed by the men in his life that he once looked up to for guidance and mentoring. I shared this song with him and my prayer is he will hear God’s whisper in these lyrics! Beautiful

    2020 has been hard and it’s brought out the worst in many of us. Remember, His grace is enough. You have been forgiven. Forgive yourself and go forth and forgive others.

    • @sinndeslebens1530
      @sinndeslebens1530 3 года назад

      His grace is not enough; we are obliged to work with the grace of God.
      Unfortunately, a widespread misinterpretation of Paul's letters in many churches and Bible communities has led to a distortion of the gospel among a great many believers.
      That many faith communities and churches take the words of Paul as a free pass for a life without works of neighborly love and observance of the 10 commandments of love is a false doctrine.
      The true meaning of Romans 3:28 "We reckon therefore that a man is justified by faith apart from the works of the law." can only be deduced from the historical context of this sentence and the context of the words, since this passage seems to contradict the words of Jesus and the apostles in *umpteen other places* in the Bible.
      In the end, however, it is not a contradiction at all, since Jesus and the apostles speak of *the works after conversion,* but Paul speaks of *the works before conversion.*
      In effect, the Jews had the conviction that in order to be saved, one had to be taught the Law as a child and keep the Law *lifelong* and perform the works of the Law *for life.*
      Thus, all the Gentiles would have been lost, because they were of course not schooled in the Mosaic Law and therefore could not keep or fulfill it at all. For the Jews, the Gentiles were therefore godless and lost in sin.
      Paul was an apostle sent out to minister to the Gentiles and wanted to make it clear that no matter how sinful the Gentiles were before, all will be forgiven if they become believers in God and accept the sacrifice of Jesus and follow Him from then on.
      What they had done wrong up to that point was erased, as if they were righteous and had never sinned.
      Moreover, that Roemer 3:28 refers only to the unconverted can be deduced from Roemer 3:24-25.
      24 undeservedly justified by his grace, through the ransom that is in Christ Jesus.
      25 God has set Him apart publicly as a restitution through faith in His blood as proof of His righteousness for the remission of *sins previously committed.*
      Thus it can be deduced both from the word context with Romans 3:24-25 and from the historical context that Romans 3:28 was addressed to the unconverted Gentiles and *claimed validity only for pre-conversion sins.*
      For this is *the only way to explain* the contradiction with James 2:26, which states that *faith without works is dead.*
      Ultimately, however, there can be no contradictions in the words of God, since *God does not contradict Himself after all.*
      The solution is that the words of James were for the converted and the words of Paul were for the unconverted.
      This means, then, that the sins of the past are forgiven and the person who accepts and receives Christ *becomes righteous without works of law through grace,* but *remains righteous* only through the observance of the 2 primary love commandments and 10 love commandments which must then be performed, whereby even a failure to love one's neighbor is a violation of the love commandments.
      This interpretation also applies to Ephesians 2:1-10 and Galatians 2:15-16. There, too, it refers only to previous sins before conversion.
      Paul's letters or words always fell only in this historical context.
      This means, then, that the sins of the past are forgiven and the person who accepts and receives Christ becomes righteous *without works of the law by grace.* But whether he remains righteous depends on *following Christ in works of neighbor love,* which can be deduced from 2 Peter 3 14-16, where Peter even explicitly pointed out in 2 Peter 3 14-16 that Paul's letters are difficult to understand.
      2 Peter 3:14-16
      14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for these things, give diligence that ye may be found in peace, *without spot and blameless* in his sight. 15 And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also, according to the wisdom given to him, wrote unto you; 16 as also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; wherein are some *things hard to be understood,* which the ignorant and unstedfast *wrest,* as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.
      This means, then, that the sins of the past are forgiven and the person who accepts and receives Christ *becomes righteous without works of law through grace,* but *remains righteous* only through the observance of the 2 primary love commandments and 10 love commandments which must then be performed, whereby even a failure to love one's neighbor is a violation of the love commandments.
      And that discipleship in works of neighborly love is even *necessary for eternal life,* follows explicitly also from 1 John 3:14-17
      14 we -- we have known that we have passed out of the death to the life, because we love the brethren; he who is not loving the brother doth remain in the death.
      15 Every one who is hating his brother -- a man-killer he is, and ye have known that no man-killer hath life age-during in him remaining,
      16 in this we have known the love, because he for us his life did lay down, and we are under obligation to lay down our lives for the brethren;
      17 and whoever may have the goods of the world, and may view his brother having need, and may shut up his bowels from him -- how doth the love of God remain in him?
      That means we must give our lives for other believers. We are even obliged to lay down our lives for our brothers. *If that is not a work of neighborly love?!* In this respect we are obliged to work with the grace of God, otherwise no eternal life.

    I've been struggling with my Faith. There was a time that I was burning with it. I fell into a hole of sin. This song brought me back to Him. It was made for me.
    I asked God years ago to make me His. To use my heart to change the world. I wasn't prepared for the struggle and the trial that comes with. I wasn't prepared for the growth. God took me through the growth and I never gave the journey to Him.
    I went through hurt.
    Real, painful hurt.
    I was alone. So alone. I never knew why until this song.
    God is shaping me, just like He is shaping you. He makes no mistakes.
    He has taught me how to grow.
    I'm so thankful for Him.
    I'll leave you with this thought that came to me last night after listening to this song.
    You MIGHT feel alone sometimes... but what's the first thing you do? You pray. You ask God to help you know that you're not alone... at least I do.
    And right there is proof that He's always there.
    You ask God for help even when you don't realise it.
    He's there.
    God bless whoever reads this.

    This is such a beautiful song with raw, heartfelt emotion. But the conclusion of the lyrics is so sad. Our salvation, our peace, our security in Jesus has nothing to do with how hard we try - it's 100% God's grace that saves us and sustains us, and the wonderful message of the gospel is actually: "My child, stop trying, cause Jesus has done it for you".

    He never asked us to try, he never asked us to be good enough. He performed on the cross so we didn’t have to perform.
    When he said it is finished. He meant I did it all for you my child come to me let me make you whole, let me be the father your soul craves, let me show you what real peace is like. I don’t need you to work for it, you can’t earn it. I’ve always had my eye on you. Before the Foundation of the world I knew you. I plan to give you a future and a hope. It’s way simpler then you try to make it. just come to me and I will give you rest. I will be the completion you seek, I will fulfill the deepest longings of your soul just come to me my child I’ve been waiting for you.

    Hi if your receiving this message it’s because your on my mind and I just wanted to say that whatever your past is and whatever your going through right now , it doesn’t determine who you are !! Your actions don’t determine who you are ! Your failures don’t determine who you are ! God determines who you are and I’m praying that you find peace in the storms of this life .. sometimes we feel lost and abandoned but God always shows up and He never leaves your side ! So I want to encourage you to just ask God for peace when your in a bad place and you just don’t know how to get out of it .. there’s always hope for your life ... you live a life of purpose ... when you fall you will get back up again no matter what life throws at you .. YOU will rise up and your gonna be able to face tomorrow with God’s help !! Be encouraged.. don’t fall and give up , fall and rise up ! God bless you ☺️🙏🏾

    A lonely road, crossed another cold state line
    Miles away from those I love purpose undefined
    While I recall all the words you spoke to me
    Can't help but wish that I was there
    And where I'd love to be, oh yeah
    Dear God the only thing I ask of you is
    To hold her when I'm not around
    When I'm much too far away
    We all need that person who can be true to you
    But I left her when I found her
    And now I wish I'd stayed
    'Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired
    I'm missing you again oh no
    Once again
    There's nothing here for me on this barren road
    There's no one here while the city sleeps
    And all the shops are closed
    Can't help but think of the times I've had with you
    Pictures and some memories will have to help me through, oh yeah
    Dear God the only thing I ask of you is to hold her when I'm not around
    When I'm much too far away
    We all need that person who can be true to you
    I left her when I found her
    And now I wish I'd stayed
    'Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired
    I'm missing you again oh no
    Once again
    Some search, never finding a way
    Before long, they waste away
    I found you, something told me to stay
    I gave in, to selfish ways
    And how I miss someone to hold
    When hope begins to fade
    A lonely road, crossed another cold state line
    Miles away from those I love purpose undefined
    Dear God the only thing I ask of you is to hold her when I'm not around
    When I'm much too far away
    We all need the person who can be true to you
    I left her when I found her
    And now I wish I'd stayed
    'Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired
    I'm missing you again oh no
