Over and Over
Unconditional Embrace: A Melody of Redemption and Acceptance
Lyrics
I say I'm not good enough
I express feelings of inadequacy, believing I'm not worthy.
You say I don't have to be
You reassure me that my worthiness is not based on my performance.
I say I cannot be loved
I feel unworthy of love.
And yet you still come after me
Despite my doubts, you pursue and love me.
Over and over and over and over
Repeated affirmation of your persistent love.
Over again
Emphasizing the repetitive nature of your love.
Drawing me closer and closer and closer
You continually draw me closer to you.
Calling me friend
You consider me a friend, establishing a close connection.
I say I am too far gone
I believe I'm beyond redemption.
You say there is no such thing
You reject the notion of being too far gone and insist on redemption.
I say all I've got's a song
I claim to have only a song to offer.
But you say you love it when I sing
You appreciate and love when I express myself through song.
Over and over and over and over
Reiteration of your unwavering love.
Over again
Continued affirmation of your persistent love.
Drawing me closer and closer and closer
Your love pulls me closer to you.
Calling me friend
You identify me as a friend in a deep, meaningful sense.
Over and over and over and over
Repetition emphasizing consistent, unending love.
Over again
Emphasis on the recurring nature of your love.
Drawing me closer and closer and closer
Your love draws me into a closer relationship with you.
Calling me friend
You regard me as a friend, reinforcing closeness.
Sometimes I still doubt
Admitting occasional doubt despite your love.
Sometimes I still wrestle
Occasionally, I struggle with understanding your purpose for me.
With understanding how
Expressing difficulty in comprehending your use of a broken person.
You'd find use in a broken vessel
Highlighting the brokenness within me.
But you say come as you are
You invite me to come to you as I am, with all my flaws.
Every stain, every scar
Your acceptance includes all my imperfections.
No matter how far you've run
No matter how far I've strayed, you promise to renew me.
That you will make me new
Despite my experiences, you assure me of transformation.
Despite what I've been through, and
Nothing can diminish or negate your love for me.
Nothing can undo your love
Reiteration of the lasting and unwavering nature of your love.
Over and over and over and over
Reaffirming the repetitive and enduring quality of your love.
Over again
Your love persists despite my shortcomings.
Drawing me closer and closer and closer
You draw me closer consistently, emphasizing intimacy.
Calling me friend
Identifying me as a close and dear friend.
Over and over and over and over
Continued emphasis on the enduring nature of your love.
Over again
Repetition of the idea that your love is constant.
Drawing me closer and closer and closer
Your love consistently draws me into a closer relationship.
Calling me friend
Reaffirmation of the deep, meaningful friendship with you.
