You Are More by Tenth Avenue North

There's a girl in the corner

With tear stains on her eyes

From the places she's wandered

And the shame she can't hide




She says, "How did I get here?

I'm not who I once was.

And I'm crippled by the fear

That I've fallen too far to love"




But don't you know who you are,

What's been done for you?

Yeah don't you know who you are?




You are more than the choices that you've made,

You are more than the sum of your past mistakes,

You are more than the problems you create,

You've been remade.




Well she tries to believe it

That she's been given new life

But she can't shake the feeling

That it's not true tonight




She knows all the answers

And she's rehearsed all the lines

And so she'll try to do better

But then she's too weak to try




But don't you know who you are?




You are more than the choices that you've made,

You are more than the sum of your past mistakes,

You are more than the problems you create,

You've been remade.




You are more than the choices that you've made,

You are more than the sum of your past mistakes,

You are more than the problems you create,

You've been remade.




'Cause this is not about what you've done,

But what's been done for you.

This is not about where you've been,

But where your brokenness brings you to




This is not about what you feel,

But what He felt to forgive you,

And what He felt to make you loved.




You are more than the choices that you've made,

You are more than the sum of your past mistakes,

You are more than the problems you create,

You've been remade.




You are more than the choices that you've made,

You are more than the sum of your past mistakes,

You are more than the problems you create,

You've been remade.




You've been remade

You've been remade.

You've been remade.

You've been remade.

This song was written for my daughter. She was addicted to meth for 7 years and is in prison, but has turned her life over to God and is doing great. God is greater than addiction. I cry every time I hear it.

@TwistedOwl Story of my life.... I don't know why I fight it so much and it's so hard to pray? I need to trust in God more and let go of my mistakes and lift up my heart and continue in the covenants which I have made.

@TheGenuineGT Thank you, and I might check them out. Some bands that are like this band and worth checking out (that aren't particularly religious, sorry) are Mayday Parade, Flyleaf, Lifehouse, and some others. =)

@vanillatwilight82 if its a good song you can look past it. im sure there are thousands of christians that listen to music that cuss in them. sure its awkward to play in aloud when what you believe is different. what im saying is, if you like the song and it touches you somehow listen to it. a band you might like is called anberlin, they are christians but the music they play is specifically religious music. take a gander at it :D

I love this song and it almost made me cry the first time I heard it. I'm going through a hard time in life now.. and this really sums everything up. God, I love you. I know You're there. Prayers are appreciated. :)

@vanillatwilight82 This song was created by religious people for a religious purpose. They created it to communicate what God's love really is. Sorry if you don't believe in God, but the fact is that this song is a religious song.

[vanillatwilight82]

I'm so not trying to be mean, but I don't understand why songs like this can't just NOT say god or "He" in them because it's easier for everyone else if they didn't specifically say it was about god. Religious people can think what they think it's about, and people like me who aren't religious don't have to feel awkward or angry when listening to an otherwise good song.

@kooliomango Hey, I want to share this quote with you by Dietrich Bonhoeffer: "Only those who obey can believe, and only those who believe can obey." It's a hard verse to accept but it's helped me through a situation just like yours. God will give you the strength to move forward in your life but He can't help you if you don't obey His will. True acknowledgment of weakness is when we give up our "self" - our desires, expectations, etc - and submit to God. Then He will strengthen you.
