LYRICS:
Sometimes marriages don't work
And sometimes babies die
Sometimes rehab turns to relapse
And you’re left just asking why
And for all the prayers I’ve prayed
I still wonder if He’s real
And if He is how is He choosing
Who He does and doesn't heal

I’ve tried to run from Jesus
I’ve started holy wars
I’ve tried the patient waiting
And the kicking down the doors
I’ve cursed His name anger
With my fists raised to the sky
And in return all He’s ever been is kind

I’ve burned my share of bridges
Learned to tuck my tail and run
Watched the wreckage in the rear view
From all the crooked things I’ve done
And I know that He forgives me
But it’s hard to forgive myself
I can’t help but think amazing grace
Is for everybody else

I’ve tried to run from Jesus
I’ve started holy wars
I’ve tried the patient waiting
And the kicking down the doors
I’ve cursed His name anger
With my fists raised to the sky
And in return all He’s ever been is kind
All He’s ever been is kind

And I know I wasn’t there
But when I look up at the cross
I see the darkest day in history
And I guess that’s what kindness cost

I’ve tried to run from Jesus
I’ve started holy wars
I’ve tried the patient waiting
And the kicking down the doors
He knows I don’t deserve it
But He’s never changed His mind
All He’s ever been is kind
All He’s ever been is kind

My wife and I lost our one year old to a rare syndrome in 2005 and lost a son that was born with a totally unrelated syndrome in 2008. We definitely had some serious "God issues" after walking through that. We felt like the God we knew had let us down and didn't answer our prayers for healing and we couldn't understand why he would let it happen twice. Two things that helped me process everything were the verse Luke 7:23 and something my pastor said concerning healing. In Luke 7:23 Jesus says "God blesses those who don't fall away because of me". Basically, John the Baptist is in prison wondering if Jesus is who he said he was and Jesus tells his disciples to reassure John by telling him of all the miracles he is performing. I think Jesus knew that John would probably think "That's great and all but what about me. I'm in prison about to be beheaded and I've played such an important role in your story, why don't you perform a miracle for me and get me out of here." I think Jesus was letting us all know that there will be times when we will not understand Him and He will not live up to our expectations. The question we all have to ask is "Will we choose to follow Christ when we don't fully understand Him and He lets us down." The second thing that helped me put healing into perspective is my pastor was preaching on healing and was reading all of the instances where God healed someone in the Bible. After reading all of those verses he said, "Where are all of the people he healed now? The answer was that they all eventually died from something. Even their prayer for healing wasn't answered at some point. It was a great reminder that even supernatural healing is temporary and the only eternal fix for any Illness is ultimately salvation in Christ and eternity in heaven. I hope this encourages someone!

There isn’t many Christian songs like this. With the ugly truth wrote down. Thank you Cory Asbury

[stephaniehartman]

My baby died. Nothing hurt me in this life quite like that. It’s hard to understand why but God is still so good. We owe him everything and he knows us nothing. And you’re so right, Jesus has always been so kind! Thank you Lord 🙏❤️

[michaelangel]

Can yall pray for me Michael Angel Dominguez. I was saved 5 months ago after a drug overdose. I promise I literally felt Jesus breathe life back into my body because I was dying. Havent did a drug since. This is first time I open up about it on a comment. And since Ive been serving our great father. 💙 Just keep me, my wife, and 2 kids in your prayers please.

[onhgxxq]

Today, I have 74 days sober after relapsing. This song hits home so well. So thankful to God for His kindness.

[POSITIVO]

Its like a song written about me. I tried to run away from Jesus, but He brought me back, kindly. I love You Jesus. All hopeless people, come to Jesus. Don't be afraid❤

[bosunmate]

I spent years being angry and running from God for not healing our son of mental health and drug addiction issues. Fentanyl took his life two years ago. Our son is now healed and perfect. God is kind.

[danawhite]

I just lost my baby last week and I heard this song the very next day, it took me until today to listen to the full song but it is everything I needed. Honest, raw, truth.. thanks.

[MorganASpencer]

I just found out last week im pregnant with baby #3, pregnancy #5. Please, please pray for a healthy baby for us!! Thank you God!

[Hannah_The_Grace]

For anyone who is willing to listen, I would like to point out that God does not work like this. He does not unexplainably take people from the earth he does not break up marriages or sit back while you go through a relapse. We have more control in this world than most people are willing to admit. Now Satan is the one who does all of those terrible things and has manipulated the world into thinking that God is that much in control of the world. Now The Lord can absolutely 100% any day of the week do those things. But he doesn't because he's a loving God who loves you as a person but has also given us free will. That is why it hurts him so much when we make stupid decisions or allow the enemy to control us and then blame it on God. I just want anyone who is willing to listen to hear that. If you feel like you were being attacked and things are being taken away from you at an unreasonable rate, there's a good chance that the enemy has a stronghold on you and or your family and I would look into something called Deliverance. Because you can break those things off you and your life so easy and so fast if you are willing.

One of the hardest pills I had to swallow was God owes me nothing. Even what I owed Him was paid by Jesus. I’m grateful for His kindness. He paid my debt having owed me none.

[summerhope]

My baby passed away as well. October 7th at 4 months old. I know he is with Jesus and not suffering anymore. This song hit me hard.❤

[connieheidebrecht]

I worked with the negotiators outside the Branch Davidian complex in 1993; I am a survivor from another cult, and I helped the agents understand the inexplicable. When the fire roared and all the people lost their lives, I responded with an 11-year period when I was far away from God....I didn't go back to old sins like drugs or the cult I had come from, but I built a huge wall of bitterness around my heart.
God brought me back in 2004 with some of the truths you shared in this song....in a way that was irresistibly loving.
I heard this song today for the first time. I take it as a gift of truth. Thank you!

[limoro]

My baby died at 4 hours old… I thought to run away from Jesus and I never could…. He is always kind to my soul and tells me to
Hold on.. one day we’ll be together again 😢

[cathymatthews]

This song is going to reach so many people!
One of your best!!!
Jesus is always kind! 🙏🏼❤️

[michaelmeehan]

Oh how this resonates with me and my dear family. We've lost 4 of six from my family to cancer in the last 5 years. There is only I and my oldest sister left now here on earth. Without Jesus I have no idea how we could have survived all of this grief. Thank God that Jesus walks with us through these valleys. He has never left or forsaken those who He calls his children. Run to his arms if you're weary of life's many trials. Jesus is waiting with open arms. Thank you for this song Cory.

[stezronmoses]

This hits home "I can't help but think amazing grace is for everybody else"

[Benjamin]

I just heard this on the radio for the first time, and I had to come find it again and I’m just bawling my eyes out. I destroyed my first marriage, and I also happen to work where many babies die, my father is a recovered alcoholic, and this song just hits different.

Glory to God 🙌

[town]

I'm a new believer in God this song had my crying like a baby I couldn't even talk that's how bad I was crying...but I was able to get the words out to thank GOD....thank you for loving me and your forgiveness....he's all ways been KIND to me...
