In a world where we can easily be caught-up in trying to create the best life, and to earn the praise of others—it can be absolutely soul-crushing. It can leave us empty—even if we reach whatever goal. Tauren Wells brings us a simple, beautiful concept in his song “Known.” That concept—you’re loved for who you are in this moment. Not what you did, or what you might accomplish. You are truly known by a pure being who just wants to have a relationship with you as you are. Wells is a five-time Grammy Award Nominee, a Dove Award winner for New Artist of the Year 2018, and is well on his way to superstardom. His voice is smooth like butter, and the simplicity of this tune paired with its simply-sweet message fills your heart. There is other-worldly comfort here: When we speak of true love, this is it. Flawless. Not spoiled by human shortcomings and judgements. Sniff. Sniff. We might be experiencing some emotion here. Sigh. "Known" It's so unusual it's frightening You see right through the mess inside me And you call me out to pull me in You tell me I can start again And I don't need to keep on hiding I'm fully known and loved by You You won't let go no matter what I do And it's not one or the other It's hard truth and ridiculous grace To be known fully known and loved by You I'm fully known and loved by You It's so like You to keep pursuing It's so like me to go astray, ooh But You guard my heart with Your truth The kind of love that's bullet proof And I surrender to Your kindness, oh I'm fully known and loved by You You won't let go no matter what I do And it's not one or the other It's hard truth and ridiculous grace To be known fully known and loved by You I'm fully known and loved by You How real, how wide How rich, how high is Your heart I cannot find the reasons why You give me so much How real, how wide How rich, how high is Your heart Now, I cannot find the reasons why You give me so much I'm fully known (fully known) and loved by You You won't let go (no you won't let go) no matter what I do And it's not one or the other It's hard truth and ridiculous grace To be known fully known and loved by You I'm fully known and loved by You It's so unusual it's frightening I'm fully known and loved by You Like what you read here?
