this song seems to be saying a lot of things that believers may want to say but don't seem to be saying.
can any man say that he has been true to God?
in that case, how can God rely upon me? that's where Jesus comes in. Jesus in me is the One the Father will recognize, so it is the Word in us and increasing; the powerful influence of Holy Spirit upon our hearts increasing—blazing and sanctifying; purifying and washing clean. Jesus in us is the One the Father in heaven will recognize.
I don't know if the writer of this song will read this but I want to say thank you very much from grieving mothers everywhere. this describes exactly how many of us feel when everyone wants us to "get over" our grief and go back to "normal". Thank you thank you thank you for putting it in such perfect words.
Problem with being real. Mockery. People mocking you for you imperfections. People taking the vunabilitys that you've shown and using them to hurt you. How do you be real and not get hurt even more. It seems better to just be real to the king of kings.
wow....just....WOW...not too often can an artist completely and totally write everything I feel into one song. I have to know that God meant for me to hear this now, when I've needed the helping hand to speak my mind. THANK YOU MANDISA
Try Listening to this song with good Headphones or in a car with a good Stereo system. Drums, Bass, background vocal harmonic transitions awesome then at about 2:14 (2min 14 s ) Mandisas voice goes into turbo-overdrive and she cracks a note thats makes the hair on the back of your head stand-up. (Lyrics are good too. heheh )
I've been teaching this to the women of our church for two years now! So tired of trying to be something we're not! Be real, not fake, TAKE OFF THE MASKS! You'll be amazed at the difference it makes in the relationships with other women of your church.
@SurgeonArmy with the enemy in control and walking among us it wont happen and most christians are too flaky :( say one thing do another ..... hmmmmm i wonder how that looks everytime we spit on jesus :( it hurts i know he deals with me alot of areas where im just like ok fine im giving these problems to you and wow he holds true to who he is and he does the work not us ....
This is just one of those songs that you come across when you feel like your whole world is falling apart, and at the moment you know God wanted you to hear it. It's funny I was just thinking about not telling my one friend how I feel because I'm afraid they'll think I have too many problems, But truth is we all have them and sometimes we have to show how we feel.
@TheJessemrk yes. it's also about learning to be real with God because he can actually do something about our struggles, the world that seems to be falling apart or whatever the situation might be:) It's so much more productive. I've been doing this and its been awesome because I've seen God change hearts of those around me and I havent had to say a word to them but let it all out to God and He will take care of you!!! <3 God bless!!
Ok I am Spiritual Satanist, i really like this song, my religion teaches the same thing on not hiding emotions, or going along with what everyone tells you, this song is a great conversation starter. I am glad I found it.
Oh my God...finally. A song that spoke right to me...I can just put on a smile and go through the day...When I really feel terrible. But, I have noone to talk to. Things I don't understand. But, I love this song. It's amazing...
Even good "bible study girls" seem to wear the "masks" talked about in this song.
"We keep trying to make it look so nice, and we keep hiding what's going on inside...."
