    BEHIND THE SONG: MercyMe Shares The Heart Behind Their New Single "Dear Younger Me"

    By Abby Carpenter | Christian News | 0 comment | 16 August, 2016 | 4

    This week’s featured song story comes to us from MercyMe. We’re excited to share the amazing story with you behind their latest single “Dear Younger Me.” MercyMe front man, Bart Millard, mentioned this track in particular, as being the most personally meaningful to him on their latest album “Welcome To The New” as it’s framed like a letter to his younger self. “I was physically abused as a kid and I’ve had a chance to play this song for people who’ve been through similar things. This is the one song I hope brings a lot of healing to people.” Wrestling with how to encourage and bolster his younger self, Millard lands on this refrain: You are holy, You are righteous, You are one of the redeemed. Set apart, A brand new heart, You are free indeed.

    “Dear Younger Me” Lyrics
    Dear younger me / Where do I start? / If I could tell you everything that I have learned so far
    Then you could be / One step ahead / Of all the painful memories still running thru my head
    I wonder how many different things would be / Dear younger me

    Dear younger me / I cannot decide / Do I give some speech about how to get the most out of your life Or do I go deep / And try to change / The choices that you’ll make ‘cause they’re choices that made me
    Even though I love this crazy life / Sometimes I wish it was a smoother ride / Dear younger me

    If I knew then what I know now / Condemnation would’ve had no power
    My joy my pain would’ve never been my worth
    If I knew then what I know now / Would’ve not been hard to figure out
    What I would’ve changed if I had heard

    Dear younger me / It’s not your fault / You were never meant carry this beyond the cross
    Dear younger me

    You are holy / You are righteous / You are one of the redeemed
    Set apart / A brand new heart / You are free indeed

    Every mountain every valley / Thru each heartache you will see
    Every moment brings you closer / To who you were meant to be
    Dear younger me
