Dear God (Acoustic) Lyrics by Cory Asbury

2020

[Verse 1: Cory Asbury]
Dear God
I've been trying awful hard to make You proud of me
But it seems
The harder that I try the harder it becomes
And I feel like giving up
Most of the time
[Verse 2: Cory Asbury]
Dear God
I've been chasing their approval and it's killin' me
And I know
The more I to try to prove the less I have to show
And I'm stuck inside my head
Most of the time
[Pre-Chorus: Cory Asbury]
But If I pray a little harder
If I follow all the rules
I wonder could I ever be enough
[Chorus: Cory Asbury]
'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
[Verse 3: Anna Asbury]
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
[Pre-Chorus: Anna Asbury]
'Cause I’m not scared of imperfections
Or the questions in your head
Just know that you have always been enough
[Chorus: Cory Asbury & Anna Asbury, Anna Asbury]
'Cause you tried and you tried
And I saw you wrestle with
Every how, every why (Every how, every why)
I was right there listening
So just fall into the mystery
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
