Dear Me (亲爱的我) - Nichole Nordeman[00:00:00]
Written by:Nichole Nordeman[00:00:00]
Dear me[00:00:11]
This is a letter to the girl[00:00:13]
I used to be[00:00:15]
Dear me[00:00:17]
There are some things[00:00:19]
That you should know[00:00:20]
It's not my intention to embarrass[00:00:24]
Or to shame you[00:00:28]
What's inside the rear view mirror is closer[00:00:29]
Than it appears[00:00:34]
We do the best that we know how[00:00:36]
With what we have been given[00:00:39]
And the difference between you and I is[00:00:41]
I've been given time[00:00:45]
In time you'll see[00:00:48]
Dear me[00:01:06]
This is a letter to the girl I used to be[00:01:07]
Some things are not as simple as we said[00:01:12]
Remember when we thought[00:01:18]
There were a handful of some magic words to pray[00:01:20]
A guarantee and a down payment on a mansion[00:01:25]
Remember all the rules[00:01:31]
We made about the body and the blood[00:01:33]
The hoops we made them jump through[00:01:37]
Though he offers it to everyone[00:01:39]
I'm so sorry[00:01:44]
Do you remember now the things[00:01:49]
I said I thought that I deserved[00:01:51]
My flag and safety a place to learn[00:01:55]
The things I know I didn't earn[00:01:58]
And bless their hearts I'm sure it's hard[00:02:01]
But handouts don't help anyone[00:02:04]
And all the talk about the system[00:02:07]
I sure hope someone can fix them[00:02:11]
I said those things[00:02:15]
Dear me[00:02:31]
This is a letter to the girl I used to be[00:02:32]
You'll see you're gonna take the long way[00:02:37]
And there is nothing[00:02:43]
You could do or say to separate you[00:02:45]
From the love of god[00:02:49]
Who made you just exactly as he meant to[00:02:51]
And you cannot imagine all the places[00:02:56]
You'll see Jesus[00:02:59]
But you'll find him everywhere you thought[00:03:01]
He wasn't supposed to go[00:03:05]
So go go[00:03:08]
And hold all the mothers[00:03:14]
Whose babies bleed from bullet holes[00:03:17]
And feel all the hunger[00:03:20]
The bellies and the bones[00:03:23]
Shout for the prisoner[00:03:26]
Cry for justice loud and long[00:03:29]
And march with the victims[00:03:32]
As Jesus marches on[00:03:35]
And sit at all the tables[00:03:38]
'Cause Jesus eats with everyone[00:03:41]
And dance to the music[00:03:44]
If you can't sing its native tongue[00:03:47]
And cry for the wombs[00:03:50]
The mothers and the empty arms[00:03:53]
And hold high the warriors[00:03:56]
Fighting now for freedoms' song[00:03:59]
And love love love love[00:04:02]
Like it's your own blood[00:04:06]
And love love love love[00:04:08]
As you have been loved[00:04:12]
Love love love love[00:04:15]
Like it's your own blood[00:04:18]
Love love love love[00:04:21]
As you have been loved[00:04:24]
Love love love love love[00:04:27]
Like you have been love[00:04:31]
Love love love love[00:04:34]
It's all about love[00:04:37]
Love love love love love[00:04:39]
His name is love[00:04:44]
Love love love love[00:04:46]
Dear me[00:04:53]
You did not learn this in a day or two or three[00:04:55]
So ask a lot of questions[00:05:01]
But Jesus loves us this I know[00:05:06]
And there are no exceptions[00:05:13]
