Cory Asbury\u2019s reimagined version of \u201cDear God\u201d, from his recent album To Love A Fool, features a strong and familiar voice \u2014 his wife Anna Asbury. Cory has named the song the most honest and vulnerable he\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n
Verse 1
\nDear God, I\u2019ve been trying awful hard to make You proud of me
\nBut it seems the harder that I try, the harder it becomes
\nAnd I feel like giving up
\nMost of the time<\/p>\n
Verse 2
\nDear God, I\u2019ve been chasing their approval and it\u2019s killing me
\nAnd I know the more I try to prove the less I have to show
\nAnd I\u2019m stuck inside my head
\nMost of the time<\/p>\n
Pre Chorus
\nBut if I pray a little harder
\nIf I follow all the rules
\nI wonder could I ever be enough<\/p>\n
Chorus
\n\u2018Cause I try and try
\nJust to fall back down again
\nAnd I ask myself why
\nDo I try to chase the wind
\nI should lean into the mystery
\nMaybe hope is found in a melody
\nSo I wanna try again
\nOh, I\u2019m gonna try again<\/p>\n
Verse 3
\nDear child, I hope you know how much I love you and I\u2019m proud of you
\nPlease believe the thoughts I have for you will never change or fade away
\nWhen you felt like giving up
\nI never did<\/p>\n
Pre Chorus 2
\nI\u2019m not scared of imperfections
\nOr the questions in your head
\nJust know that you have always been enough<\/p>\n
Chorus 2
\n\u2018Cause you tried and tried
\nAnd I saw you wrestle with
\nEvery how, every why
\nI was right there listening
\nSo just fall into the mystery
\nAnd I\u2019ll meet you here in the melody
\nTry just to try again
\nOh child would you try again
\nMy child you can love again<\/p>\n
