Remember Me
Rick Riso Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Running from the struggles you can't overcome
There's no need for you to run away from Me
You don't have to fight a war that I've already won
My precious One don't you forget
I'm giving you My very best
Remember Me, I laid down My life for you
When your load is too heavy to bear
Though you're unaware, I'll be standing right there, whenever you remember Me
Oh restless heart, so disappointed coz you never know just where to start
Realise that resting in Me is your part
It's the key that opens every door to life
Don't be afraid, take My Hand, I'll show you where to start
My precious One keep holding on, I promise you, it won't be long when you remember Me, I laid down My life for you
Remember Me, My Love will bring you through each thing you do
When your load is too heavy to bear
Though you're unaware, I'll be standing right there, whenever you remember Me
When you break the bread and drink the cup of life, I will flow My life through you when you remember Me, when you remember Me
When your load is too heavy to bear
Though you're unaware, I'll be standing right there, whenever you remember Me
The lyrics to Rick Riso's song "Remember Me" are a reminder of the power of faith and surrender in times of struggle. The song begins by addressing a weary and battered individual who has been running from their battles and struggles rather than facing them head-on. The song climaxes in the chorus with an invitation to remember Christ's sacrifice and find comfort in the knowledge that He has already triumphed over the struggles that the listener is facing.
The song then addresses a restless heart that is unsure of where to turn or how to proceed. The solution offered by Riso is to rest in Christ, to take His hand and allow Him to guide the listener on the path toward healing and hope. The chorus repeats the sentiment of the opening verse; that remembering Christ and the gift of His love will bring the listener through whatever challenges they may face.
Overall, the message of the song is one of comfort, support, and encouragement in the face of adversity. It encourages the listener to find strength in their faith and to remember that they are never alone.
