Embracing Divine Comfort
Lyrics
Have I not been hurt, have I not had pain
Expressing questioning about experiencing pain and hurt.
I'm tired of losing at this game
Expressing frustration with continuous losses in life.
Where is the root tripping my feet
Searching for the cause or origin of difficulties.
How can I strangle this deceit
Contemplating how to overcome deception.
I lift up my eyes
Turning attention upward, possibly seeking guidance.
My eyes and see the stars
Observing the stars, symbolizing the vastness of existence.
He calls them by name
Referring to a higher power addressing the stars by name.
Not one is missing
Emphasizing the precision and care in creation, nothing missing.
He holds the sand
Acknowledging the power over elements, including the sand.
He holds my heart and
Symbolizing a connection between the speaker's heart and the higher power.
Breathes over me
Highlighting the life-giving nature of the higher power.
His heart will be my home
Expressing a sense of security in the higher power's heart.
Have I not known, have I not heard
Rhetorical questions about knowledge and awareness.
Do I not know who holds the earth
Acknowledging the higher power's control over the earth.
As I lay here, where will I run
Contemplating options and choices in challenging situations.
Do I not know the war is done
Acknowledging the completion of a personal struggle or conflict.
I lift up my eyes
Revisiting the act of looking upward to find solace.
My eyes and see the stars
Reiterating the observation of the vastness of the universe.
He calls them by name
Reaffirming the higher power's personal connection with creation.
Not one is missing
Emphasizing the meticulous care in the creation of each individual.
He holds the sand
Reiterating control over elements and personal aspects.
He holds my heart and
Symbolizing the intimate connection between the speaker's heart and the higher power.
Breathes over me
Highlighting the life-giving nature of the higher power.
His heart will be my home
Reaffirming a sense of security in the higher power's heart.
Who has made mountains and measured the sea
Reflecting on the grandeur of creation, attributing it to the higher power.
Who put his strength inside of me
Acknowledging the strength instilled by the higher power.
Who rules perfection and sits on his throne
Describing the sovereignty and majesty of the higher power.
Who has made all my sin his own
Acknowledging the higher power's willingness to bear personal burdens.
I lift up my eyes
Returning to the act of seeking guidance from above.
My eyes and see the stars
Observing the vastness of the universe, seeking connection.
He calls them by name
Reaffirming the personal connection with the higher power.
Not one is missing
Emphasizing the meticulous care in the creation of each individual.
He holds the sand
Reiterating control over elements and personal aspects.
He holds my heart and
Symbolizing the intimate connection between the speaker's heart and the higher power.
Breathes over me
Highlighting the life-giving nature of the higher power.
His heart will be my home
Reaffirming a sense of security in the higher power's heart.
His heart will be my home
Expressing a desire for the higher power's heart to be a permanent home.
His heart will be my home
Reiterating the longing for the higher power's heart as a home.
His heart will be my home
Affirming the higher power's heart as a comforting and permanent home.
