[00:10.01] Dear Me
[00:11.50] This is a letter to the girl I used to be
[00:15.00] Dear Me
[00:16.76] There are some things that you should know
[00:19.25] It's not my intention to embarrass or to shame you
[00:25.25] What's inside the rear-view mirror is closer than it appears
[00:30.75] We do the best that we know how, with what we have been given
[00:35.75] And the difference between you and I is, I've been given time
[00:41.25] In time, you'll see
[00:50.00] Dear Me
[00:57.75] This is a letter to the girl I used to be
[01:01.75] Some things are not as simple as we said
[01:07.50] Remember when we thought there were a handful of some magic words to pray
[01:13.01] A guarantee and a down payment on a mansion
[01:17.51] Remember all the rules we made about the Body and the Blood
[01:22.75] The hoops we made them jump through
[01:24.75] Though He offers it to everyone
[01:29.25] I'm so sorry
[01:33.25] Do you remember now the things I said I thought that I deserved
[01:38.26] My flag, and safety, a place to learn
[01:40.75] The things I know I didn't earn
[01:43.26] And bless their hearts, I'm sure it's hard
[01:45.76] But handouts don't help anyone
[01:48.25] And all the talk about the system
[01:51.50] I sure hope someone can fix them
[01:56.00] I said those things
[02:02.50] Dear Me
[02:10.00] This is a letter to the girl I used to be
[02:14.25] You'll see, you're gonna take the long way
[02:18.25] And there is nothing you could do or say to separate you
[02:24.25] From the love of God who made you just exactly as He meant to
[02:29.76] And you cannot imagine all the places you'll see Jesus
[02:34.50] But you'll find Him everywhere you thought He wasn't supposed to go
[02:40.25] So, go!.. Go!..
[02:45.25] And hold all the mothers, whose babies bleed from bullet holes
[02:50.76] And feel all the hunger, the bellies and the bones
[02:55.75] Shout for the prisoner, cry for justice, loud and long
[03:01.25] And march with the victims, as Jesus marches on
[03:06.26] And sit at all the tables, 'cause Jesus eats with everyone
[03:11.50] And dance to the music, if you can't sing its native tongue
[03:16.76] And cry for the wombs, the mothers and the empty arms
[03:21.75] And hold high the warriors, fighting now for freedoms' song
[03:27.01] And love, love, love, love
[03:29.76] Like it's your own blood
[03:32.00] And love, love, love, love
[03:34.51] As you have been loved
[03:37.00] Love, love, love, love
[03:40.25] Like it's your own blood
[03:42.50] Love, love, love, love
[03:45.01] As you have been loved
[03:48.00] Love, love, love, love, love
[03:50.25] Like you have been
[03:53.01] Love, love, love, love, love
[03:56.51] It's all about love!
[03:59.01] Love, love, love, love, love
[04:02.25] His name is love
[04:04.25] Love, love, love, love, love
[04:08.75] Dear Me
[04:12.00] You did not learn this in a day or two or three
[04:17.01] So ask a lot of questions
[04:21.25] But Jesus loves us, this I know
[04:26.00] And there are no exceptions
