Dear God (Lyrics) - Cory Asbury

Dear God is a new song by Cory Asbury.

🎶🎶 Chords here:

Cory writes: "It's one of the most honest and vulnerable songs I've written to date." It's laid out as a raw prayer to God. Perhaps it’s time for us all to be so vulnerable in front of God. It’s also time to hear His truth back into our lives instead of lies from the evil one.

Dear God,

I’ve been trying awful hard
to make You proud of me
but it seems
the harder that I try
oh, the harder it becomes
and I feel like giving up
most of the time

Dear God,

I’ve been chasing their approval
and it’s killing me
and I know
the more I to try to prove
oh, the less I have to show
and I’m stuck inside my head
most of the time

But if I pray a little harder
If I follow all the rules
I wonder could I ever be enough

‘Cause I try and try
just to fall back down again
and I ask myself why
do I try to chase the wind
I should lean into the mystery
maybe hope is found in a melody
so I wanna try again
oh, I’m gonna try again

Dear Child,

I hope you know how much I love you
and I’m proud of you
and please believe
the thoughts I have for you
will never change or fade away
and when you felt like giving up
I never did

‘Cause I’m not scared of imperfections
or the questions in your head
Just know that you have always been enough

‘Cause You tried and tried
and I saw you wrestle with
every how, every why
I was right there listening
so just fall into the mystery
and I’ll meet you here in the melody
Try just to try again
Oh, child would you try again
My child you can love again

About three years ago in the summer of 2017 I fell extremely sick I became so sick I was admitted into the mayo clinic for 2 months. At worst I couldn't even move a muscle and the only thing I could move was my eyes. The doctors had given up on me but my mom never gave up trusting God. God never gave up and I was healed. A true blessing from God I started to speaking again on Easter of 2018. I've been changed and this March I started reading the bible. Just to show my progress I went out for cross country just think that three years ago I couldn't even move, talk or do anything. This is my testimony!

5 years clean and sober by the grace of God to God be the glory and honour completely clean amen

I absolutely have never done anything to deserve such love as Jesus gives me He is so close I can touch him when i reach out my hand in 1994 i went to florida and walked out on a very long walkway over the ocean and walking back i said i am going to have pneumonia when we get home and sure enough we got home and i became so sick the doctors didnt know what was wrong because my lungs were getting full of holes instead of filling up with fluid they put me in the hospital and the next day my dr was making rounds and found me blue and coded me they rushed me into intensive care i came around and the dr was standing at the sink washing his hands and i said im dying doc im dying today and i laid back and closed my eyes and everything became so quiet like a hush was whispered and time stopped and i felt God sweep his fingers across my chest so tender as a breathe and it was so beautiful my soul was screaming my joy and i woke up 13 days later on life support and i went ballistic and for 2 years i was so angry because i was alive because it well i cant really explain it i mean it was Jesus standing beside my bed he is so perfect and so other that it cant truly be expressed with words He must be experienced I had a very very rare pneumonia the drs gave up nothing was working that they had and i went into ARDS adult respiratory distress syndrome, i am 56 now and He has never left me He is so faithful and so amazing. God answers prayers and He is the love of my life. He is our very best friend always. May you each and everyone experience the true love of the Lord,

"Dear God, Why do I constantly relive the past disasters of my life like I can change any of it?" I know that you have a plan to prosper me; to give me a hope and a future. That is the truth, and I will try to live in it's promise.

God bless you today who's reading this comment have a good day love you all praying for you're situations and needs today amen to that

[cynthiadeinstein]

I sometimes feel I don't know or do enough to serve God so I am not worthy or have my prayers answered. This song reminds I only need to seek God and trust in Him.

[AspireChristianMusic]

"Dear God, Yes, I have my share of deep, deep struggles in this life, and yes, like so many others, sometimes I FEEL overwhelmed. But I could never give up on you, God, because I have found that YOUR very existence is the cure to all of that. I am SO in love with you, God! Even now, more than all of the years of my life so far, that love grows without bound! It is hard to describe the height, the depth, the length and the width of my love for You, but the very gravity of Earth and every heavenly body in the universe seems to pull at me like it's YOU drawing me in with your love. There is nowhere that I can go that YOUR love and YOUR protection and YOUR presence does not follow me and sing over me as my loving Father. You bless me, God, and I want to stand on the mountaintops to shout the name of your Son, Jesus, as my redeemer and Savior! Help me, Lord, to point the way to Jesus so that not one of your precious children is lost. Yes, Dear God, life can be hard, but YOU are so much greater than all of that. Help us all to feel your love, presence and blessings all the more, so when it is our time to leave this mortality, none of us will come home to you as a stranger. Oh, how I long for my union in heaven. In the mean time, please dry my tears with your love and help me to encourage others, because YOU are always enough."

Love this beautiful song by Cory Ashbury, felt like I am talking to God. The twist of this song was God talking back to us. Really love it. Thanks for this wonderful song.💖💖😎😎

Dear God I want to do better. I admit I'm a sinner but I can do better! You died on the cross for my sins. I can do better because I want you to be proud of me. All mankind should feel the same way as myself. We are not perfect but we can do it if we try. Not perfect but do better to make God proud!! God deserves every bit of it. We owe God now so let's make God proud!!!

Do you know, that the Bethel Music is spreading all over the world? I was blessed by several songs in German in our Church in Germany and now I discovered in YouTube, that these songs are songs of the Bethel Church. Now I here every day the songs of Bethel Music and I am so blessed. I learned so much through these songs and my face really grew while singing the songs. Thank you for all these wonderful songs: Defender, Raise a Alleluia, First Love, Embers, the Throne Room Song, Spirit lead me and many other songs. Today I heard the first time "Dear God" and I was so blessed. I love you all and I love your music.
Dorothy, a German fan of you all and of the Bethel Church in Redding, California. I love you!

[jimbomccloskey]

I love this song because that's me this song brings tears to my eyes I love you Lord 🙏

[kardiaviera]

Dear God I'm feeling like i can't breathe slowly, I'm aching. I can't express with words what troubles me. But I hold onto your promise that where words fail me you knew all along and that gives me hope today. I praise you for the beauty and the grace you show to me. Rise and fall Rise and fall I'm held together even when I'm breaking. And that gives me confidence that it will all work out. What would I do without you?

[elliegrace]

I feel like no one cares about me but I know that God does, I want to go my real home in heaven!

[HotelCharliHill]

what a gay song. "Well done, good and faithful servant" is what I'm living for, and this is achieved by abiding in Christ and surrendering to Him so His Holy Spirit can work through us and empower us while He sovereignly orchestrates human history to aid us in bringing Him glory.
