Lord you know
Riana Nel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And You know what I'm yet to do
But still yet You do, You love me like You do
As if there's no one else to love
Lord You know just who I am
And You know exactly where I'm from
And still You do, You love me like You do
So, I close my eyes and pray
'Cause You hear the words that I say
And I want to thank you, Jesus
For not letting go of a sinner reaching for the light
Lord You know how proud I have been
And You know how I try to earn this thing
But still You do, You love me like You do
As if there's no one else to love
So, I close my eyes and pray
'Cause You hear the words that I say
And I want to thank you, Jesus
For not letting go of a sinner reaching for the light
Cause I've been bent down low by the weight of the law
I've been crippled by its demands, Lord and it left me on the floor
But now I'm liberated, I'm set free by Your grace
And finally I can breathe again, this freedom You've given me
So I close my eyes and I pray
Cause You hear the words that I say
And I want to thank you, Jesus
For not letting go of a sinner reaching for the light

The feelings of guilt and shame that she experiences as a sinner are overwhelming, but she finds solace in prayer and thanksgiving, knowing that God hears her words and has not given up on her.
The song also touches on the theme of liberation and grace. Riana Nel acknowledges that she has tried to earn her way back into God's love by being proud and burdening herself with the weight of the law.

This experience of liberation gives her a new perspective on life, and she is grateful to God for his love and mercy.
