![]() I hear you whisper underneath your breath An evildoer forced themselves on the innocent party (rape is a prominent example), stealing their innocence that they had.It means to miss the mark, something all of us have done (Romans 3:23). It can refers to sin, which is the breaking of God’s laws, commandments, or both (1 John 3:4).To put it in reverse, you (we) have hope, though Daigle does not describe what this hope is or how one may attain it. In the relational sense, God is our protector and defender, something described in more detail in Verse 2.In the intellectual sense, forgetting is an impossible task for God given that He is omniscient (1 Kings 8:39, 1 Chronicles 28:9, Psalm 44:21, Psalm 139:4, Psalm 147:4-5, Isaiah 40:28, Matthew 10:30, John 16:30, John 21:17, Acts 1:24, Hebrews 4:13, and 1 John 3:20).There are at least two ways we can interpret this: Given that God is speaking, the “you” here is either mankind as a whole or a particular individual, perhaps Daigle herself.

The message itself is highly positive with scant repetition, Chorus 2 building on Chorus 1 with added lines, though ambiguous in its meaning. But, if the latter, than this leaves a wrong impression upon listeners. Is this due to sin or circumstances? If the former, then very good. What are we rescued from? Brokenness and hopelessness, according to Verse 1. There is also the added issue of rescue itself. ![]() In fact, this interpretation proves more likely than she intended. ![]() He would send armies to save her and become her defense, her protector, her knight in shining armor. I believe Daigle was going for a song from God’s perspective However, without any clear indication that she means God, it is easily interpreted as a lover rescuing his girl from further violation given that her innocence was stolen. This is yet another “Jesus as my boyfriend” song with the same boring trappings as previously reviewed songs under this style. Note to new users: This is a different kind of review site!
