Alyanna Ruth Quimlat sings a beautiful rendition of ‘Dear God’ by Cory Asbury.
‘Dear God’ was released as the third single to musician Cory Asbury’s third studio album, To Love a Fool, on October 23, 2020.
Asbury collaborated with Aodhan King of Hillsong Young & Free in writing the song, and the production of the single was handled by Paul Mabury.
Dear God
I’ve been trying awful hard to make You proud of me
But it seems
The harder that I try, all the harder it becomes
And I feel like giving up
Most of the time
Cory Asbury called it “one of the most honest and vulnerable songs” he has written to date, describing the recording as “It’s laid out as a raw prayer to God.
Dear God
I’ve been chasing their approval and it’s killin’ me
And I know
The more I try to prove
All the less I have to show
And I’m stuck inside my head
Most of the time
As you listen to the cover of this song by Alyanna Ruth Quimlat we pray that you know that you are loved, cherished and sought after by a loving and mighty God.
Thank you Cory. This struck me in my heart. This week has been a hard one and the answer is me getting out of Jesus’ way and let Him hold me.
