Stray
The Assemblie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When I thought all hope was lost
You've seen at my best
And still I've fallen short
What You see of worth in me
I will never know
I'll never know
That new mercies rise with the morning sun
I'm so thankful
That You've never given up on me
Please draw near
You know my heart it tends to stray
It tends to stray
Mystery of all mysteries
What You've done in my heart
Once stained by sin and shame
You've restored innocence
Why I have this second chance
I will never know
I'll never know
I'm so thankful
That new mercies rise with the morning sun
I'm so thankful
That You've never given up on me
Please draw near
You know my heart it tends to stray
It tends to stray
You must be greater
I must be less
You can take this mess
And make it beautiful
Make it new
Let this be my crossroads
Where faith and action meet
Where looking back at my past will prove
You are faithful God
And if I've learned one thing
I know that You are good
Yes, You are good
In these lyrics, the artist is expressing his gratitude for never giving up on him despite his past mistakes and shortcomings. He acknowledges that he has fallen short of his own and others' expectations, but is thankful that new chances and opportunities arise every day with the morning sun. He recognizes that he tends to stray from his path and asks the higher power (God) to draw near and guide him in the right direction.
The singer then reflects on the mystery of his redemption and the restoration of his innocence despite the stains of his past sins and shame. He acknowledges that he can never fully comprehend or understand the mercy and grace given to him. However, he is grateful for the second chance and opportunity to start anew.
Towards the end of the song, the artist affirms his belief and trust in God's faithfulness and goodness. He realizes that he must decrease while God must increase in his life. He also acknowledges the importance of taking action and having faith at the crossroads of his life to prove God's faithfulness to him.
