Sanctus Real

I tried perfecting myself

Would You love me more without my mistakes
I tried not to ask for Your help
I didn’t want to scare You away

Till I got to know You
I was at a place when You found a way
To break through, It’s true
I was just a skeptic
Till I got to know You.

And it’s hard accepting Your grace
In a world where nothing’s free
For so long I was afraid
That You’d only see the worst in me

Yeah, I was always worried
You were gonna figure out
That I wasn’t what You wanted
Wasn’t worth being around

And you have always been on my side
I finally see it; It took so long to believe in it
I was always worried
I was gonna let you down
Till I got to know You


Sanctus Real


     I heard a Sanctus Real song on the radio today while driving the two little ones to the library. I have a surprising lack of brain cells after having kids so I have virtually no short term memory. 104.7 The FISH was even nice enough to say the name of the song and the artist right afterwards and all I could remember by the time I got home was that I liked a song by Sanctus Real! I mean, come on!! I sure wish I could even remember why I liked it…it had something to do with us not trying to prove ourselves to the world. I have searched the internet trying to find the song that I heard but I found this one instead.


     In my search I noticed that Sanctus Real has some pretty heavy lyrics in their songs. The one that I found (above) was perfect in the way that it describes most of our deepest thoughts about ourselves. If you truly looked past the façade of “perfectness” that we like to put on, you would see a weak pitiful soul questioning why would the God of the entire universe care about us. How many of us have been skeptical and worried that it was all a farce at one time or another? Have you ever thought one day God was going to really figure out who you are and drop you like people sometimes do? Those doubts will only disappear when we truly become a Child of the King and trust in His grace and mercy to pull us out of our self-loathing and into the abundant life He promised us. Put on your “big girl panties” and realize that He already proved His love for us…quit doubting and asking “why?” and just realize that He does love you.

Get to know Him and you’ll know what I mean…
