Song Meaning
We Are Messengers build the whole song around pattern recognition — "you can count on that, you know what He's like, you've seen Him do it a thousand times." "He turned it for good, He lets nothing go to waste" echoes Romans 8:28's claim that "all things work together for good for those who love God," repetition itself functioning as the evidence.
"He made His mercies new 'cause He knew we'd forget" reaches for Lamentations 3:22's claim that God's compassions "are new every morning," naming forgetfulness as the actual reason the mercy has to keep repeating. "He met you with His kindness, compelled you with grace" pulls in Romans 2:4's claim that it's God's kindness that leads to repentance, not fear of consequence.
Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
Do you remember all
Those lonely nights
When He took the wrongs
That you couldn't make right
And every tear that you cried
Every broken prayer you prayed
He turned it for good
He let's nothing go to waste
You can count on that
You know what He's like
You've seen him do it a thousand times
Yeah even in
The dead of night
There's never been a morning when the sun don't rise
He'll never let go, you know that it's true
He's still that good and He's still got you
You can count on that
You know what He's like
You've seen Him do it a thousand times
Do you remember when
You felt ashamed
When you couldn't get free
From the mistakes that you made
And He met you with His Kindness
Compelled you with Grace
So if you wanna come home
He'll show you the way
You can count on that
You know what He's like
You've seen him do it a thousand times
Yeah even in
The dead of night
There's never been a morning when the sun don't rise
He'll never let go, you know that it's true
He's still that good and He's still got you
You can count on that
You know what He's like
You've seen Him do it a thousand times
Again and again
You'll see Him do it a thousand times
Again and again
You'll see Him do it a thousand times
He made His mercies new
'Cause He knew we'd forget
All the things He's done
And just how good He is
He's a faithful God
Every word is true
And He always does
What He says He'll do
You can count on that
You know what He's like
You've seen him do it a thousand times
Yeah even in
The dead of night
There's never been a morning when the sun don't rise
He'll never let go, you know that it's true
He's still that good and He's still got you
You can count on that
You know what He's like
You've seen Him do it a thousand times
Again and again
You'll see Him do it a thousand times
Again and again
You'll see Him do it a thousand times
