Dear God
Seeking Redemption: Conversations with the Divine
Lyrics
Dear God it's me again
Expressing a plea or communication with God
I've fallen away
Acknowledging a spiritual or moral decline
I'm hardly living if I'm planning to stay
Life feels incomplete without a commitment to God
Dear God I've broken
Admitting to breaking promises or moral obligations
Every promise i've made
Every commitment made has been violated
My word means nothing
The speaker's word lacks trustworthiness
All my debts are unpaid
Unresolved obligations and moral debts
Fear not my child you're not the only one
Reassurance that the speaker is not alone in their struggles
You will always be my son
Affirmation of a divine relationship as a child of God
Come now we can talk it out over
Invitation to have a conversation with God
I'm only but a breath away
God's presence is always close
Dear god Fears waiting
Acknowledging the presence of fear
Like a beast at the door
Fear is described as a formidable force
My courage is nowhere to be found
Lack of courage is affecting the speaker's stability
I've lost my floor
The speaker feels ungrounded or unstable
Fear not my child you're not the only one
Reiteration that others share similar struggles
You will always be my son
Reaffirmation of the enduring parental relationship with God
Come now we can talk it out over
Encouragement to engage in a dialogue with God
I'm only but a breath away
God's accessibility is emphasized
But out in the desert here the road is long
Metaphorically describing a challenging and arduous journey
And water disappears
An environment where sustenance and support are scarce
My walk has turned into a crawl
The speaker's progress has slowed down or regressed
I know you're trying to show me anything
Acknowledging divine guidance even if not fully understood
But I just can't see what's inside of me?
Inner struggles and self-awareness challenges
Fear not my child you're not the only one
Reiteration of divine reassurance in times of difficulty
You will always be my son
Confirmation of the enduring divine parent-child relationship
Come now we can talk it out over
Encouragement to continue the conversation with God
I'm only but a breath away
Reassurance of God's proximity
