Jars Of Clay - He Lyrics






Don't try to reach me, I'm already dead
The pain when it grips me, for things that I've done

Well I try to make you proud, but for crying out loud
Just give me a chance to hide away
Exhaustion takes over, will this someday be over?

[Chorus:]

Fearful tears are running down
The pain you've laid don't speak a sound
Don't take my heart away from me
And they think I fell down

Daddy, don't you love me?
Then why do you hit me?
And Momma don't you love me
Then why do you hurt me?
Well I try to make you proud, but for crying out loud
Just give me a chance to hide away
Exhaustion takes over, will this someday be over?

[Chorus]

A teardrop falls from up in the heavens
Drowning the sorrow of angels on high
For the least of the helpless, the hopeless, the loveless
My Jesus, His children, He holds in His eyes

  1. R.... B....

    you will be my kingdom of priests
    Exodus 19:6
    .
    be a holy priesthood,
    to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God
    through Jesus Christ
    1 Peter 2:5
    .
    you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood
    1 Peter 2:9
    .
    You have made them a kingdom and priests to our God
    Revelation 5:10
    .
    I will raise up for myself a faithful priest,
    who shall do according to what is in my heart and in my mind.
    And I will build him a sure house,
    and he shall go in and out before my anointed forever.
    1 Samuel 2
    .
    there is neither male and female;
    for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
    Galatians 3:28
    .

    according to the foreknowledge of God the Father,
    in the sanctification of the Spirit,
    for obedience to Jesus Christ
    and for sprinkling with his blood:
    Peter 1
    .
    you have come to...
    the sprinkled blood
    Hebrews 12
    .
    To those who have obtained a faith of equal standing with ours
    by the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ:
    2 Peter 1
    .
    His divine power has granted to us all things
    that pertain to life and godliness,
    through the knowledge of him
    who called us to His own glory and excellence,
    by which he has granted to us
    his precious and very great promises,
    so that through them
    you may become partakers of the divine nature,
    having escaped from the corruption that is in the world
    because of sinful desire.
    2 Peter 1
    .
    Even though we once regarded Christ according to the flesh,
    we regard him thus no longer.
    2 Corinthians 5:16
    .
    Jesus, the apostle and high priest of our confession
    Hebrews 3
    .
    Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering,
    for he who promised is faithful.
    Hebrews 10:23
    .
    a hope that enters into the inner place behind the curtain,
    where Jesus has gone as a forerunner on our behalf,
    having become a high priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.
    Hebrews 6:19
    .
    hold fast to the hope set before us
    Hebrews 6:18
    .
    anchor of the soul
    Hebrews 6:19
    .

  2. c.... ....

    This song hurts to listen to in the same way as "The Living Years" by Mike + The Mechanics. It just hits so close to home thematically that even a lot of hardasses would have to work to keep their eyes dry.

  3. N.... I....

    "And they think I fell down.....Again?"

  4. H.... R....

    still listening to this.

  5. R.... D....

    Timeless.

  6. R.... R....

    Umas das bandas gospel que mais indentificar pessoalmente, letras das músicas que nos fazem refletir realmente que somos. Obrigado Deus pela essa boa referência de música.

  7. M.... L....

    Daddy don't you love me
    Then why do you hit me?
    And Momma don't you love me
    Then why do you hurt me?

    These lines devastate me, break my heart, every time I hear them. Every time.

    M.... L....

    Same brother.
    It hurts...

    The scars are there forever. But there is healing and freedom.

    God is a good father.
    He *can* be trusted.
    He has sacrificed it all for you.
    Others fail at love, and love has been physical and emotional violence when we were so fragile and trusting...
    But my heavenly Father has adopted me.
    I was broken and He gently put my pieces back together.
    He raised me up into a new person, nurtured me as an adult...and did it better.
    Now I am His.
    And I am not fragile.
    Like Jars of Clay, the cracks from our scars make us lanterns for Him.

  8. N.... C....

    you are the voice of GOD in a time when most need it i pary JARS of CLAY i will hear your JOY in HEAVEN COME TO THE ONE THAT IS TO COME

  9. N.... C....

    be to the GLORY and be to the GLORY He is the one that saves and he is to COME

  10. P.... R....

    Big fan of jars of clay always has been,always will be

  11. a.... a....

    He loves you, He sees you, 
    He knows you, protects you, 
    He needs you, He holds you

  12. Y.... P....

    He is the Lord of Lords
    He is the king of kings
    Every knee shall bow,
    And every tongue confess,
    "Jesus is Lord"

  13. P.... S....

    This song reminds me how as a child I felt pain that my father treated me abusively when he drank. Thank you Jesus for healing me with Your love for me.

    P.... S....

    Patrick Simmonds dame. Teardrops heal as Jesus rubs your back in assuring comfort. I have been there my whole life.

  14. F.... ....

    This song 😭

  15. d.... ....

    This is actually the version from their demo album they recorded in college. The version they recorded in Nashville never made their official debut album. You can listen to their Nashville version (which I think is better than this version) on their Little Drummer Boy EP and on Spotify.

  16. J.... N....

    So gripping at the end, when he says, He sees you, He knows you, He loves you........

  17. J.... N....
