I wrote this song with my friend, Aodhan King (Hillsong Y&F \/ Hillsong Worship). It\u2019s one of the most honest and vulnerable songs I\u2019ve written to date. It\u2019s laid out as a raw prayer to God. This recording is the unmixed, untouched, raw voice memo audio from the first time I sang it. Full song coming with the new album July 31st\u2026<\/p>\n

Lyrics:<\/p>\n
Dear God,
\nI\u2019ve been trying awful hard to make You proud of me
\nBut it seems
\nThe harder that I try the harder it becomes
\nAnd I feel like giving up
\nMost of the time<\/p>\n
Dear God,
\nI\u2019ve been chasing their approval and it\u2019s killing me
\nAnd I know
\nThe more I to try to prove
\nThe less I have to show
\nAnd I\u2019m stuck inside my head
\nMost of the time<\/p>\n
If I pray a little harder
\nIf I follow all the rules
\nI wonder could I ever be enough<\/p>\n
I try and I 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
\nYeah, I\u2019m gonna try again<\/p>\n
Dear child,
\nI hope you know how much I love you and I\u2019m proud of you
\nPlease believe
\nThe thoughts I have for you will never change or fade away
\nWhen you felt like giving up
\nI never did<\/p>\n
I\u2019m not scared of imperfections
\nOr the questions in your head
\nJust know that you have always been enough<\/p>\n
You tried and you tried
\nAnd I saw you wrestle with
\nEvery how, every why\u2026
\nI was right there listening
\nSo just fall into the mystery
\nI\u2019ll meet you in the melody
\nSo please try just to try again
\nSo child would you try again
\nMy child you can love again<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","etiquette-video":[18288],"categorie-video":[49090],"louange":[49877],"musique":[],"ttheme":[],"orateur":[],"ministere":[],"emissions":[],"class_list":["post-257210","video","type-video","status-publish","hentry","categorie-video-child","louange-cory-asbury-en"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/adnjtv.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/video\/257210","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/adnjtv.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/video"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/adnjtv.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/video"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/adnjtv.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=257210"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/adnjtv.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/video\/257210\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/adnjtv.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=257210"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"etiquette-video","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/adnjtv.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/etiquette-video?post=257210"},{"taxonomy":"categorie-video","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/adnjtv.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categorie-video?post=257210"},{"taxonomy":"louange","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/adnjtv.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/louange?post=257210"},{"taxonomy":"musique","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/adnjtv.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/musique?post=257210"},{"taxonomy":"ttheme","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/adnjtv.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ttheme?post=257210"},{"taxonomy":"orateur","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/adnjtv.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/orateur?post=257210"},{"taxonomy":"ministere","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/adnjtv.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ministere?post=257210"},{"taxonomy":"emissions","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/adnjtv.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/emissions?post=257210"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
