This week’s featured song story comes to us from Tenth Avenue North. We’re excited to share with you the story behind their song “Greater Than All My Regrets”
“Bitterness is the belief that God got it wrong. Anxiety is the belief that God’s not going to get it right. Regret is the belief that the mistakes I’ve made are so bad that God can’t make it beautiful again. I was having that moment. I was going I missed part of my children’s childhood and God can’t make this beautiful. I remember I was sitting in my kitchen with my guitar and I started crying. And this verse came to me. Psalm 103:10 ‘He does not treat us as our sins deserve or repay us according to our iniquities. For greater than the heavens is his loyal love toward us.’ All of a sudden from that verse and in that moment I just felt this whisper of God saying ‘Hey Mike I’m greater than all your regrets.’” – Mike Donehey (Tenth Avenue North)

“Greater Than All My Regrets” Lyrics
When the past it comes to haunt me
It tells me what I’ve done
It reminds me what’s gone wrong
When my sins are laid before me
My Lord, You take them on
Yes, my Lord You take them on
So if I fall and if I fail
I will trust Your mercy
Is greater than all of this
And if I bend and if I break
I’ll trust the Hands that hold me are
Greater than all my regrets
You are greater than all my regrets
You are, You are
Father, I know I break Your heart
When I choose my way
When I doubt Your love
But you take me as I am, a child
You whisper in my ear
Let’s get up and try again
So if I fall and if I fail
I will trust Your mercy is
Greater than all of this
And if I bend and if I break
I’ll trust the Hands that hold me
Are greater than all my regrets
You are greater than all my regrets
You are, You are
Hallelujah, You are right here with me
Hallelujah, You have always been there
Hallelujah, You will never stop chasing me
You’re chasing me
Hallelujah, You are right here with me
Hallelujah, You have always been there
Hallelujah, You will never stop chasing me
You’re chasing me
