  • There's a girl in the corner
    With tear stains on her eyes
    From the places she's wandered
    And the shame she can't hide

    She says, how did I get here?
    I'm not who I once was.
    And I'm crippled by the fear
    That I've fallen too far to love

    But don't you know who you are,
    What's been done for you?
    Yeah don't you know who you are?

    You are more than the choices that you've made,
    You are more than the sum of your past mistakes,
    You are more than the problems you create,
    You've been remade.

    Well she tries to believe it
    That she's been given new life
    But she can't shake the feeling
    That it's not true tonight

    She knows all the answers
    And she's rehearsed all the lines
    And so she'll try to do better
    But then she's too weak to try

    But don't you know who you are?

    You are more than the choices that you've made,
    You are more than the sum of your past mistakes,
    You are more than the problems you create,
    You've been remade.

    You are more than the choices that you've made,
    You are more than the sum of your past mistakes,
    You are more than the problems you create,
    You've been remade.

    'Cause this is not about what you've done,
    But what's been done for you.
    This is not about where you've been,
    But where your brokenness brings you to

    This is not about what you feel,
    But what He felt to forgive you,
    And what He felt to make you loved.

    You are more than the choices that you've made,
    You are more than the sum of your past mistakes,
    You are more than the problems you create,
    You've been remade.

    You are more than the choices that you've made,
    You are more than the sum of your past mistakes,
    You are more than the problems you create,
    You've been remade.

    You've been remade
    You've been remade.
    You've been remade.
    You've been remade. Writer/s: JASON INGRAM, MIKE DONEHEY
