I Feel It
Twila Paris's song "I Feel It" is a heartfelt prayer about the pain of unkind words from a fellow believer. The singer admits to feeling hurt and struggling to conceal that pain, but then remembers the call to love and give more. She asks God to carry her away from these feelings and to help her obey His Word, trusting in His faithfulness. The song captures the honest tension between human emotion and the desire to respond with grace, ultimately surrendering the hurt to God so it doesn't harden her heart.
Sometimes it hurts, Lord
To hear my brother speak his mind
Sometimes its painful
When his opinion is unkind
O Lord, I feel it
You know I feel it
In my heart
Then I remember
The love that I am living for
And You remind me
That we are called to "giving more"
But Lord, I feel it
Try to conceal it
In my heart
Carry me, O carry me
Carry me away
Carry me, O carry me away
Carry me, O carry me
Carry me away
Carry me, O carry me away
I will obey You
And let Your Word expose my soul
I know You "faithful"
I know You never lose control
But still I feel it
Hard to forget it
O Lord, don't let it
Close my heart
