Embracing Our Humanity: Finding Hope and Understanding in Anthem Worship's 'Human'
Lyrics
We are human with unbelief
We acknowledge our humanity and struggle with doubt.
We bring our doubting, uncertainty
We bring our uncertainties and questioning to God.
We don't have all the answers
We admit that we don't have all the answers.
We're just looking for peace
We are seeking peace in the midst of our challenges.
We're searching for meaning in our humanity
We search for meaning in our human experience.
You take us just as we are
God accepts us as we are, flaws and all.
Every bruise and every scar
God embraces our physical and emotional wounds.
In our doubt You still remain
Even in our doubt, God remains present.
In our search You stay the same
God stays constant in our quest for understanding.
You're the hope that's always there
God is the unwavering hope that is always present.
You're not going anywhere
God is a constant presence, not leaving us alone.
You're the God who understands
God comprehends and empathizes with us.
You've got holes still in your hands
Referencing the wounds of crucifixion, symbolizing God's human experience.
Because You were human
Reiteration of the idea that God became human.
Because You were human
-Because You were human
-Because You were human
-You were human
Affirmation that God shared the human experience.
You were the same as me
-You felt fear and doubting
Describing God's experience of fear, doubt, grief, and walking in darkness.
Cried tears of grief
-You stepped in the darkness
-You walked our streets
-Your body broken with all humanity
Emphasizing God's physical connection to humanity through a broken body.
You take us just as we are
Reiteration of God's acceptance, understanding, and enduring nature.
Every bruise and every scar
-In our doubt You still remain
-In our search You stay the same
-You're the hope that's always there
-You're not going anywhere
-You're the God who understands
-You've got holes still in your hands
-Because You were human
Repeated emphasis on God's humanity.
Because You were human
-Because You were human
-Because You were human
