Lyrics
Looking on the sad times, the guilt and all the shame
Reflecting on difficult times, guilt, and shame
I have learned to submit my existing hurts and pains
Learned to surrender existing hurts and pains
All the grief I've learned to set aside
Putting aside the grief that has been experienced
'Cause I am, I am, I am
Emphasizing identity and existence
Feeling underooted feeling undermined
Feeling uprooted and undermined
Can this grace of God cover me this time?
Questioning if God's grace can cover the speaker
When I feel the pain I know why I feel strange
Understanding the reason behind emotional pain
When I hear the rooster crow I am ashamed
Feeling shame, possibly referencing betrayal or denial
Jesus on the cross and this cross upon my back
Connecting personal struggles to Jesus' crucifixion
I have learned to submit then I whine about my lack
Recognizing the need to submit despite complaining
Sometimes I drop my cross, deserve a little rest
Taking a break and seeking solace when dropping the burdens
That's when I run to you and I nail your feet and your wrist
Turning to God in times of weakness and pain
I'm feeling underooted feeling undermined
Reiterating the feelings of being uprooted and undermined
Can this grace of God cover me this time?
Questioning if God's grace can cover the speaker once again
Do you really love my soul, even after I hated you?
Expressing doubt about being loved after showing hatred
Do you really know my name, can I really come to you?
Questioning personal recognition and acceptance by God
Are you really more faithful than the changing of the seasons and the morning sun?
Inquiring about God's faithfulness compared to nature
Do you really know my name, can I really come to you?
Repeating the question about personal recognition by God
I can, I don't care if the rooster crows
Asserting resilience despite the acknowledgment of failure
I can
Reaffirming personal capability and determination
