This song, by Jeremy Camp, has been a go to I listen to in moments where that lie creeps up on me, that has been with me since my teenage years. It is a lie I have dealt with and I still deal with often, if I am being honest. Feeling invisible and feeling forgotten is something that took root in my adolescence and it unfortunately has stuck with me for many years now. But what God reminds me of through this song, is it is a lie and He sees me, and that is the biggest blessing ever. It has helped me in those spiritual attack moments with this lie and I hope if anyone needs that reminder of the powerful truth that you are seen and worthy, I hope this song can be that for you too and it can speak that truth over you when you need it.
Intro:
Sometimes
I feel like my heart is half-alive
Like all of my dreams are cast aside
But You see me
And I try
To find who I am in others eyes
I’m hiding behind this frail disguise
The truth will set me free
I really relate to how this song begins. Sometimes dreams that burn so big and bright can feel like they’re not seen by others. They can feel cast aside and you just overall feel not seen and the things you are and hold dear, people do not ask about them or seem to care what makes you, you. I know a realization came to me recently. Like these lyrics say, I try to find who I am through others eyes. I have realized, this is me. I don’t know where I picked that up along my life walk but I did. It really is a frail disguise I have been hiding in and I now know I have some things to work through with God and growth to do with identity. This can be a whole other blog, but, I know trying to find who I am in others and how they view me, is not good. That identity can be shattered so easily, and i know for me , it has failed me over and over again and made me look to others for validation and care for years. But I know and have realized Jesus and the truth of what he says about my reality of identity, will set me free. Our identity doesn’t start or end with people. It is found in Jesus and what he says of us. That’s it. Period. Other people’s opinions of us are none of our business. A pastor spoke on this recently that really opened my eyes to this issue I am facing with identity and he said it so well. If we live for people’s praises, we will die by their criticisms. I realized that is what I have been doing and I am glad God brought this to my attention. I am praying for myself and others that if you are living behind this frail disguise, it will be broken and replaced with the truth of how Jesus sees us.
Chorus:
Even when I feel forgotten
Doesn’t mean that’s what I am
In a crowd that I feel lost in
Please do hold me in Your hand
I know I’m not alone
I’m not invisible
And I’ll never be
‘Cause You see me
You see me
This chorus has been the truth I stand on when I have struggled with feeling invisible. I think that is hard to admit but I believe I am not alone in that. I remind myself when those feelings pop up, I say to myself these lyrics: Even when I feel forgotten, doesn’t mean that’s what I am. We cannot always trust our feelings and must be careful when a thought pops up, because we have an enemy prowling around looking for someone to devour. He wants you to feel like you are alone and not seen. But just because you feel that, it does not mean it is the truth. The truth is, you are never alone and you are always seen by a God who loves you so much and watches over you with love and great care. That gives me so much comfort when I start to feel that way. I know God is right with me and I know I am not invisible to Him, even if others around me make me feel that way. The fact that he knows me by name, knows the number of hairs on my head and knows my purpose, and the God of the universe sees me, it lifts me up and helps me put those lies in their rightful place. It helps me know what my true identity is and it gives me strength, when I don’t feel strong. I’ll never be invisible and you never will be either because he always sees you, for everything he made you to be.
Second stanza:
Like the treasure
With more hope than I can measure
The kind that’ll last forever
Its all I’ve ever need
What a beautiful comfort we have in this life when we have God. He is such a treasure. Our faith and relationship in Him is a treasure unlike anything else we can physically have in this life. He gives us hope when no one or nothing else will. Like the lyrics say, it is more than we can measure, which is so comforting and life giving to me when I think of that. It really is and He really is all we need.
Chorus repeats
Next Stanza:
You see me like I’m a child
Something no one can erase
Yeah, Your love for me is wild
Something no one else can break
I know I’m not alone
I’m not invisible
And I’ll never be
‘Cause You see me
You see me
You see me
These words say it all. God’s love for us is wild and something we won’t be able to truly fathom until we meet him face to face. He sees us as pure as a child and with a pure, radiant love. A love that cannot be broken, like it says in the book of Romans, nothing can ever separate us from the love of God. What a beautiful promise. We are never alone, no matter what our feelings tell us or how others make us feel. We can cling to the truth that is our real and only reality: We are wholly and purely loved by God and He knew us before we were even born. That is a pretty real and wild love.
Last stanza before repeat of Chorus twice:
In the desert
In the darkness
Your eyes are on me
On the mountains
In the valley
Your eyes are on me
Your eyes are on me
I love what these lyrics say and reveal about God. He always has his eyes on us. When we are going through desert seasons, lonely seasons, challenges and trauma we are working through, he is always with us and sees our pain. And then the flip side, he is with us when we are on the mountain tops, when blessings are being poured on us. He is there, rejoicing with us.
Like I said, this song has been something I turn to when I need to remember God’s truth and that he is always he is with me and sees me. I hope you can find comfort in it if you need that reminder too.
All for Jesus,
