Jason Upton's song reflects on the idea that God initiates the search for us, not the other way around. It emphasizes that we discover our true selves when we realize we have been shaped, held, and loved by God from the beginning. The lyrics draw a parallel to Jonah, suggesting that even when we resist our purpose, we often end up embracing it. The song is a meditative piece about divine pursuit, identity, and surrender, encouraging listeners to rest in the truth that God's love precedes our awareness of it.
We don?t find God
God Finds Us
So who do we find?
We find ourselves eventually;
Hopefully
And when we do, we find the one who found and loved us long before we could find and love ourselves.
For we are shaped and formed by the hands of God
We are held long before we can hold on
We are loved long before we even know how to love
And like Jonah
even when we run from our calling
we most often just end up running right into it.
