I am understood

I love this song by Relient K because it expresses the way God is able to look into my heart and see what no one else can, not even I. Sometimes it's so difficult to try to make others understand, I choke and hide. With God, I don't need to hide. There is a sense of vulnerability any time you are that open, but above all a gratefulness simply to be understood...

Sometimes its embarrassing to talk to You

To hold a conversation with the only One Who sees right through this version of myself

I try to hide behind

I bury my face because my disgrace will leave me terrified

And sometimes I'm so thankful for Your loyalty

Your love regardless of the mistakes I've made will spoil me

My confidence is, in a sense, a gift You've given me

And I'm satisfied to realize You're all I'll ever need

Then You looked into my life and never stopped

And You're thinking all my thoughts are so simple but so beautiful

And You recite my words right back to me

Before I even speak You let me know I am understood

And sometimes I find myself just trying to escape

I work so hard, so desperately, in an attempt to create space

Cause I want distance from the most important thing I know

I see Your love and turn my back and beg for You to go

Then You looked into my life and never stopped

And You're thinking all my thoughts are so simple but so beautiful

And You recite my words right back to me

Before I even speak You let me know I am understood

You're the only One Who understands completely

You're the only One Who loves me and still loves completely

And sometimes the place I'm at is at a loss for words

When i think of something worthy, I know that it's already Yours

Through the times I've faded and You've outlined me again

You've just patiently waited to bring me back and then

You looked into my life and never stopped

And You're thinking all my thoughts are so simple but so beautiful

And You recite my words right back to me

Before I even speak You let me know

I am understood
