This song is more testimonial than corporate worship, as it speaks to the audience more than it proclaims to God His value and worth. Unbelievers will likely understand this song’s message, even if they disagree that God never fails. Christ makes us new creatures, with the past dead and gone, destroying it leaves us with a shallow testimony that omits how Christ changed us from the inside out. Katy Nichole & Big Daddy Weave’s God Is In This Story is great. It glorifies Jesus that we are transformed people who held onto His promises and beautifies the ugly parts of us, repairing our past lives, and reminds us to cling onto Christ when life gets tough. The metaphors and language used in this song are mostly everyday and easy for them to comprehend. However, it doesn’t address why God sometimes doesn’t answer prayer, which seems like failure on His part. This information contained in Verse 2 partially addresses a longstanding criticism I have concerning the God who never fails and how that coincides with unanswered prayer. They will think that Christians left behind lies that were told to them, embracing a caring Jesus who doesn’t let go and always does what He says. Chiefly, because Jesus is explicitly mentioned in the song, alongside God and grace. Unbelievers will probably think it’s Christian. How would an outsider interpret the song? Uses more book metaphors to provide examples of past issues that Jesus healed (see Verse 2, line 6). He’s the One who holds your sorrow, He won’t leave you here alone If it reads like depression, if it reads broken home He’s the One who frees the prisoner, He’s the healer of all things If it reads like addiction, if it reads like disease Your song of healing’s written in His scars ![]() He promises to never leave nor forsake those who are His (Deuteronomy 31:6, Joshua 1:8-9, 1 Chronicles 28:20, Psalm 118:6, Lamentations 3:22-23, and Hebrews 13:5-6). If you’re going through a trial, don’t waver from your faith (James 1:5-8). His power is perfect in Nichole and Weave’s weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9-11).Īlways in the highs and lows, the One who goes before mе When I’m at my weakest, I will trust in Jesus I’ve addressed this in the last paragraph of my commentary on Verse 1, except that God never fails. God is in this story, God is in the detailsĮven in the broken parts, He holds my heart, He never fails Nichole and Weave are new creations (2 Corinthians 5:17). God took their heart of stone and turned it into a heart of flesh (Ezekiel 11:19, Ezekiel 36:26, Jeremiah 31:33, and Hebrews 8:10). ![]() The torn pages represent their lawbreaking that, through God’s forgiveness, is as far as the east is from the west (Psalm 103:12). The pages and chapters are various moments/seasons of that life. The book represents Nichole and Weave’s life up to this moment. The entire song is basking in Scriptural delight. ![]() How much of the lyrics line up with Scripture? Rather, it’s to place their brokenness into God’s hands and to allow Him to do what He wants with their torn life. ![]() Also, Chorus’ “Even in the broken parts, He holds my heart, He never fails” evidences that forgetting is not their goal. While I initially thought that the pages of Nichole and Weave’s life were torn out and discarded, Verse 1 says they are “torn-up”, not torn-out. We are instructed to hang onto unwavering faith in God.They were rescued from their former life of sin.Note to new users: This is a different kind of review site!
