My Meanings in Song Lyrics - 'All Things New' Sidewalk Prophets

This song really stuck out to me as i was listening on youtube and KLove (AMAZING RADIO STATION, by the way). It really made me think of my life. So without further ado-

'There’s a place deep inside of me
No one else has ever seen
And I fight to keep the light
From reaching the darkness within me
I’ve been holding onto secrets
That I can never tell
Cause if I did, then you’d know
That I was really someone else'

We all have things that we like to keep to ourselves. I definitely do. This blog is actually part of an attempt for me to let more people in to my thought (in a non scientific way, for any science majors reading this). Even though we may hide them from others, god always knows. And it hurts him to see us try to hide them.

'Can you forgive, will you forget
All these wrongs and make me whole again
You restore the broken, You heal the sinner’s heart
You make all things new, all things new'

A lot of people that haven't come to see god, as well as some that have, worry that they have done so much wrong in their lives, and that they have no chance to be reconciled. However, God always loves us. I seem to remember a story in church about a guy that sent 3 lieutenants, one after another to capture Elijah. He still loved him. Hebrews 13:5-6 "Let your conduct be without covetousness, and be content with such things that you have, for he has said, 'I will never leave you, nor forsake you,' so that we may boldly say, 'The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do to me.'"

'On the cross Your love was spoken, You even wore the scars'

Even when we were nailing his hands into a cross, to crucify him, he still loved us.


'You have carried all the pain
So heavy on my soul
Lift me up, and hold me close
You will never let me go'

God wants us to give him our troubles. He works unspeakable good out of the evil in this world. For he wants us so much.

'I should have know the walls I built
Were never strong enough
To keep You, from reaching me
Nothing’s greater than Your love
Can you forgive, will You forget'

No matter how strong the walls we build, he is always there. Always ready to come closer to us. All we have to do is ask.

'All these wrongs and make me whole again
You restore the broken, You heal the sinner’s heart
You make all things new, all things new'

God can do anything when we believe in him. In Jesus, nothing is impossible.

'You release the chains
Of all my yesterdays
And I am not the same, Lord
I am not the same'

If we believe in him, and honesty move all our attention on to him, we will never be the same.

'From the beginning till the end of time
You love will never change
You make all things new, all things new
From the sand upon the shoreline
To the stars up in the sky'

'¹⁸ Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. ¹⁹ Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, ²⁰ and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”' Matthew 28:18-20

 I skipped some of the repeated parts

These are my thoughts on the song, i would love to hear yours!
