MercyMe Lyrics
"Dear Younger Me"

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 through my head
I wonder how much 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 the choices that made me
And even though I love this crazy life
Sometimes I wish it was a smoother ride
Dear younger me, dear younger me

(Oh, oh)
Oh, 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 to carry this beyond the cross, no
(Wooh) dear younger me

You are holy, you are righteous
You are one of the redeemed
Set apart, a brand-new heart, oh, you are free indeed
Every mountain, every valley
Through each heartache you will see
Every moment brings you closer
To who you were meant to be
Dear younger me, dear younger me

You are holy, you are righteous
You are one of the redeemed
Set apart, a brand-new heart, oh, you are free indeed
(Dear younger me) you are holy, you are righteous
You are one of the redeemed
Set apart, a brand-new heart, oh, you are free indeed
You are holy, you are righteous
You are one of the redeemed
Set apart, a brand-new heart, oh, you are free indeed
You are holy, you are righteous
You are one of the redeemed........
