christian lyrics

dear younger me

dear younger me by mercy me
genre: christian pop
dear younger me
where do i start?
if i could tell you everything
that i have learned so far
then you could be
one step ahead
of all the painful memories
still running through my head

i wonder how much different
things would be
dear younger me

dear younger me
i cannot decide
do i give some speech
about how to get the most out of your life
or do i go deep
and try to change
the choices that you'll make
'cause they're the choices that made me

and even though i love this crazy life
sometimes i wish it was a smoother ride
dear younger me
dear younger me

oh, if i knew then
what i know now
condemnation would have had no power
my joy, my pain
would've never been my worth

if i knew then
what i know now
would've not been hard to figure out
what i would've changed
if i had heard

dear younger me
it's not your fault
you were never meant to carry this
beyond the cross
dear younger me

you are holy
you are righteous
you are one of the redeemed
set apart a brand new heart
oh, you are free indeed

and every mountain
every valley
through each heartache you will see
every moment brings you closer
to who you were meant to be
dear younger me
dear younger me

you are holy
you are righteous
you are one of the redeemed
set apart a brand new heart
oh, you are free indeed

you are holy
you are righteous
you are one of the redeemed
set apart a brand new heart
oh, you are free indeed

you are holy
you are righteous
you are one of the redeemed
set apart a brand new heart
oh, you are free indeed
