Forsaken
Group 1 Crew Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And your grace was so far from reach.
When the walls of the world were
closing all around me.
For my God you have shown Your mercy,
through my good and my darkest days.
So whom shall I fear if You are for me, Jesus.
Here with an open heart.
And in Your hands I give You all of me.
Forgiven with a brand new start.
Let Your spirit reign over me.
I’m down on my knees.
I’m giving You everything.
I know I’ll never be forsaken.
Never forsaken but patiently waiting.
Hating the times that my flesh is
chasing the stench of death.
While I’m facing the fork on the road,
Complacent and knowing that my decision determines my soul’s position.
And place in this final destination,
But I fear nothing.
Unmovable.
Statue of my faith is firmly planted
in your crucible.
And heated by the trials of life.
I’m not forgotten I remain the focus
of your thoughts.
And Jesus you ain’t stopping No!
So here I stand unbroken.
Here with an open heart.
And in Your hands I give You all of me.
Forgiven with a brand new start.
Let Your spirit reign over me.
I’m down on my knees.
I’m giving You everything.
I know I’ll never be forsaken.
No you’ve never given up on me.
Through the storm you’re leading me.
And just when I can’t stand You come
and take me as I am.
Lord, you’re never far away.
Let your power reign over me,
With you I’m not afraid.
So here I stand unbroken.
Here with an open heart.
And in Your hands I give You all of me.
Forgiven with a brand new start.
Let Your spirit reign over me.
I’m down on my knees.
I’m giving You everything.
I know I’ll never be forsaken.
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
The lyrics of Group 1 Crew's song "Forsaken" talks about the personal struggles and fears of the singer and his reliance on God's grace and mercy to overcome them. The song highlights the idea that no matter how tough life can get, the singer can always turn to God for support and guidance. The beginning of the song describes the singer's past struggles with fear and distance from God, but he realizes that God has always been with him through both the good times and the bad. This realization brings the singer to his knees, where he willingly gives himself over to God's will.
The chorus of the song speaks to the singer's newfound sense of hope, strength, and faith. He is "unbroken" and his heart is "open," indicating that he has found inner peace and clarity by relying on God's love and guidance. He is "forgiven with a brand new start," implying that he has been granted another chance to live his life in a more meaningful and purposeful way. The singer also understands that he is never alone and will never be forsaken, as God is always watching over him.
The second verse of the song adds to the first by describing the singer's continued struggles with his own ego and human nature. He understands that his decisions will ultimately determine his fate and reiterates his trust in God, believing that his faith is unshakeable no matter what kind of trials he may face. The bridge of the song reaffirms the singer's belief in God's power and what he can do for him. He recognizes that God has never given up on him and always brings him back into the fold, and he is never far away when he needs him.
