Sarah Goff - Reject Lyrics

I am a reject
I have been rejected
More than a dozen times
It keeps rewinding and playing back in my mind
Play Rewind Play Rewind

Those things that were done
Those words that were said
To make me feel like an outcast
All alone in my head

That face that was made
The body language that spoke so much louder than words
That became verbs
Haven't you ever heard
Of compassion
Instead of speaking your mind
Try being kind, slow down, listen
Give time

Feeling so deep
Being told to keep
My ideas to myself
Ideas that will never work
Or will ever be is
Getting too much for this dreamer to take

The words You don't belong
Keep ringing in my ears
Each time they repeat
It becomes clearer
To me that maybe
I don't belong
Or maybe I never belonged
In the first place

I believed these words with every part of my being
Until a friend spoke truth to me saying
I to have been rejected
He said I gave my life
For the broken, beat up, and bedraggled
As you see yourself right now

Being who I was called to be
I freely gave my life to set captives free
People didn't and still don't understand
And I don't expect anyone to
So I'm leaving it up to them
To love beyond differences
To know
To see
That they are loved to

This man who was rejected
Gave his life for me?
I asked him
Who am I that you let me see?
To shed light on this old dark heart
Restored its flesh and made it beat

He said you are so loved
By my father and me
I couldn't help but give you my everything

With love as my hope
He helped me to see
Rejection isn't all that bad
It made me stronger
And gave me a perspective I would've never had
Had I been accepted this whole time
I would've not found a friend in Jesus
Who gave me the hope
To press on
And still, I press on

Taking off the label rejection
And accepting the call of acceptance
Regardless of what the world says I am
Because of hope
Because of love
Because of the man of sorrows was to rejected
Still I press on
