But we do know about His love and grace for us, and our hope is when you hear our music and listen to our lyrics you encounter King Jesus and His love and grace for you... We long for that.
Veracity started in 2009 by husband and wife Chuck and Charlotte Donahue to use the blessings and gifts given to them to help others know Christ and to keep believers strong in their faith. They feel very strongly about giving back to others the love God has shown to them with their music and Charlotte's testimony about battling depression, attempting suicide and how through prayer and God's grace & mercy, she was able to rise up out of the darkness. Their music, written and arranged by Charlotte and Chuck, is about the hope and strength God gives to those who open their hearts and minds to Him. The honest lyrics Charlotte writes are straight from her own struggles, finding peace through prayer and the Love of Christ.

Veracity also includes Gary Suess on Bass guitar
and Aharon Bouy on drums bringing their own life to the group and the music with their deep faith as well. Together they possess a strong bond that radiates the love of Christ. From playing local shows at churches to festivals, eventually opening for national Christian acts such as Citizen Way, Matthew West, and Britt Nicole, their energy and passion fuel the audience giving an unforgettable performance. The name Veracity means "absolute truth" and they bring the truth of God's love, power and strength every time they take the stage!

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I think You hear me
I think I hear You.
But so many times I feel
I can't get through…
The Love You've shown me
Is a Love that is true
So please help me Father
I need to find You…

Reach into me my Father
Hear me when I call Your name
Reach out and lift me up
Please hear me, I trust you

Open my eyes Lord
Open my mind
Open my heart that seems closed all the time
Give me your light Lord
Help me shine
Let me shine
Lord I want to shine.

Yes Lord I hear you
I know you hear me…
You gave me Your light
Now I can see you…
You have opened my eyes
I feel your love all around me…
Now I am alive
I know I will get through….

Reach into me my Father
Hear me when I call Your name
Reach out and lift me up
Please hear me, I trust you

Open my eyes Lord
Open my mind
Open my heart that seems closed all the time
Give me your light Lord
Help me shine

Let me shine
Lord I want to shine.
