A song reflecting on the sad state of the world and how we need to stick together.

We'll Be The Flame(1)

About waking up to the real game being played

sold-a-lie.-(live).mp3

There are moments in life when the world seems to turn its face away...when promises grow quiet, relationships fracture, dreams crumble, and we feel as though we’ve been pushed to the edges and overlooked. In those places, the enemy whispers, “You are unseen. Unwanted. Unvalued.”  

But God speaks a different word.

In the silence, He leans close and whispers:
“I see every tear you cry.”

The God of the universe is not distant from pain. Scripture tells us:
“The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.”
~Psalm 34:18

He is the One who defends the mistreated, lifts the lowly, and gathers the weak into His arms. Where we see ruins, He sees the beginning of restoration. Where we see broken pieces, He sees the material for glory.

Nothing in your life is wasted in His hands.

You See The Forgotten

When the world turns its face away,
And I’m left in the shadows alone,
When the promise fades into silence,
And I feel like I’ve lost my home...
Still You whisper in the darkness,
“I see every tear you cry.”
You’re the God who holds the helpless,
You don’t leave the weak behind.

Lord, You see the forgotten,
You defend the mistreated,
You take what seems hopeless
And write redemption in it.
Even my broken places
Are woven into Your story...
Your grace reaches farther,
Farther than my failures and my sorrow.

In the ashes of disappointment,
In the ruins of all I’ve dreamed,
You are sowing seeds of mercy,
Calling dead hearts to believe.
You’re the God who lifts the lowly,
Who brings beauty out of pain,
You take shame and turn it to glory...
You make deserts bloom with rain.

Lord, You see the forgotten,
You defend the mistreated,
You take what seems hopeless
And write redemption in it.
Even my broken places
Are woven into Your story-
Your grace reaches farther,
Farther than my failures and my sorrow.

Nothing wasted, nothing lost,
In Your hands it all belongs.
Every tear and every cross,
You are making right from wrong.
In the waiting, in the night,
You are still the God who fights...
For the weak and for the worn,
Every heart that feels forlorn.

Yes, You see the forgotten,
You defend the mistreated,
You take what was hopeless
And write redemption in it.
Even my broken pieces
Are lifted up for Your glory...
Your grace reaches farther,
Farther than my failures and my story.

Your grace reaches farther...
Farther than my failures.

Rob Thomas has been one of modern music’s most compelling and commercially successful artists for well over a decade – between Matchbox Twenty, his solo work, and his various collaborations with iconic artists like Santana, Mick Jagger and Willie Nelson, his tally now stands at more than 80 million albums sold worldwide. Arguably the most accomplished singer/songwriter of his generation, it all comes back to the creative source for Rob. As he says with typical understatement, “I’m a guy who hears songs in his head, and I have to write them down, and I have to get them out. I’m just lucky enough that I can make it my life’s work.”
