You Belong to Me


You run, you hide
As tears fall from your eyes
They fall like snow
From a wounded soul

You hold inside
The hurt of great divide
The hole is starting to get old

So come back to the light
To the love, you will find
It’s been here all along
So come back to the start
And you’ll find in your heart
That you always belonged
To me

Just take the rope
I won’t let it go
Give in
We can start again


I’m life, I’m hope
And I’m ready to explode
With how bad I want you back home


You're my daughter

You're my son

You're the one I long to love

You've heard I chose to die

Do you know you're the reason why?

So come back to the light
To the love, you will find
It’s been here all along
So come back to the start
And you’ll find in your heart
That you always belonged
To me

I'm facilitating a class based on the book Problems, God's Presence and Prayer. It's interesting how God has allowed things to come across my path that relate to how we as believers deal with our pain especially in relationship to God. From songs to videos to testimonies of others, our view of God is often affected by what we are experiencing in our lives (our circumstances).
At their very core, our problems are designed to drive us to God. Yet often I find, from my own life experience and that of others, that instead we run, we hide, we numb we…………..anything to keep us from experiencing the pain that our circumstances can bring.


Even still, God is continually calling us to experience Him right in the middle of whatever is going on. I think the words in this song say it perfectly.


I’m life,

I’m hope

And I’m ready to explode

With how bad I want you back home


So come back to the light

To the love, you will find

It’s been here all along So come back to the start

And you’ll find in your heart

That you always belonged

To me


I want to experience him as LIFE and HOPE right where I am. How about you?

Hi Garvy! I thought I would stop just being a lurker and post a comment! I think your husband is right - you should post for others to see and read - I know I have always appreciated what you have to say.

Thank you for this post. In this moment I cannot imagine God wanting me by His side this much. And yet I know that it is true. It's funny - only a snippet of that song played and it is bouncing around in my head...I know I will believe it again...
