I Know It Hurts from Paul Cardall & Tyler Glenn

[@cardall]

Never under-estimate your value. You are eternal. You are divine. You are worthy of love. Don't ever let anyone or any system tell you otherwise.

[@funkyfreshtx]

Thank you Paul, to you and Tyler, for using your gifts to bless the lives of so many people who may or may not have a voice.

[@katarinakrandom]

This is so beautiful, thank you for sharing

[@hunterhalverson4129]

Paul, as a member your music brought me so close to God and has seen me through my darkest day growing up as an LGBT member of the church. Now that I have left, your music still continues to inspire and uplift me. Everyone has such great value. That’s not a church specific principal, but one all humanity needs can know. Thank you.

[@kendraallan6332]

@mrcaramelito2010 Thank you for you message. I too am going through that transition in Utah, and it is not always pretty what people say to you. Certainly does not make you want to stay LDS.

[@matteaston2350]

Being LGBTQ+ and growing up LDS, this song resonates in my soul. My whole life I felt like no matter how hard I tried to follow the principles, my worth would never be able to measure up because of my sexuality. "Dear God, I hope there's more, cause it's cold on the church floor." For anyone struggling to see if there is hope, know that there is. Embracing who I am truly does feel like returning home to God, to who I'm meant to be. You will always have worth, exactly as you are--exactly as God made us. ❤

Great message, Matt. It makes me emotional thinking about what you’ve endured. You’re an amazing person.

Love you Matt!!!

[@bonnisylvester6898]

You are awesome Matt and so is Tyler. Thank you both for sharing your journey. ❤🏳️‍🌈❤️

[@juliadawndesigns4522]

It's been nearly four years since my exit out of Mormonism and I still wonder when it's going to stop hurting so much. I'm convinced that music like this is a beautiful and important part of my healing process. Thank you both so much for this gift. I know how hard it can be to meet people in their pain and I am so thankful for your willingness to do so.

[@brendanicholson635]

Yes. It does hurt. So very much. It's a cold world when you find that home is not in the church, and you lose everything while being shunned for realizing the truth. This is beautiful. Thank you. 💜

[@cardall]

Love!

The church wan an enemy for my little brother. My father was a pastor of a Christian church . My brother was molested Continuously in the churche’s bathroom for years since he was seven years old by a member. As an adult he was confused, hated the church, and didn’t want to do anything with Christians. He became hooked on drugs to numb the pain. Despite his drug abuse, he was kind-hearted and caring person who had so much compassion and love towards other human beings. He wanted to seek God but didn’t know how. Few weeks ago his heart stopped, and now I lost my brother, and I blame the church. I wonder where is my brother now? I am in so much pain.

[@cardall]

Salam. Thank you for commenting. I've very sorry to hear this. Legalism kills the spirit of God, which is love. In the great story, Jesus put the legalistic hypocrites in their place. He crushed organized religion who grew fat with power by anointing themselves as kings, priests, and rulers. As Jesus journeyed he sought out those rejected by the Church of that time period. These priests who use legalism for power instead of praying, prey over the innocent, forever corrupting their precious hearts who loved God. Jesus is quoted as saying, "It would be better for them to be thrown into the sea with a millstone tied around their neck than to cause one of these little ones to stumble. Thank you for being vulnerable in sharing this publicly. The very best are sometimes the victims of the very worst.

Happy..yet..shiver and breathe fast whenever I hear Mormon Church mentioned

[@tylermarz35]

Don't forget the tissues. As a former LDS member (now happily in another church) and gay, this brought up so much. Thank you for this.

[@megjones3350]

Since I can't find the lyrics anywhere on google, I transcribed them myself :) You've been floating out in space You just wanted to believe There were tears upon your face And your body felt no ease Dear God, is there not more? Cuz it's cold on the church floor, oh Seemed like no one here would listen But you found, in pain, a friend We were victims of the system Still we prayed our hearts to mend Dear God, is there not more? Cuz it's cold on the church floor, oh And I know it hurts Finding your worth I know it hurts You've been through worse Feeling so small in a big universe I know it hurts In a graveyard, there were crosses There were stained glass window doors And the church bells rang, and angels sang But the symbols were not ours Dear God, is there not more? Cuz it's cold on the church floor, oh Here you find yourself a new road And they wish that you could stay There's a faint light at the ending And its calling you away Dear God, I hope there's more Cuz it's cold on the church floor, oh And I know it hurts Finding your worth I know it hurts You've been through worse Feeling so small in a big universe I know it hurts And I know it hurts Finding your worth I know it hurts You've been through worse Feeling so small in a big universe I know it hurts Finding your way back home Finding your way back home I'm finding my way back home I'm finding my way back home I'm finding my way back home I'm finding my way back home

"Cold on the church floor," "these symbols are not ours," oooo the chills from this song. SO GOOD! He is such an amazing artist. You can feel his heart pierce through his songs every time💙

[@joshuaconnelly2415]

Tyler, I was predisposed to dislike your song because I am so disappointed in your leaving us. But from the first notes of your gorgeous, rich voice, and compelling lyrics, I love this song. Paul, your keyboarding is soothing and sumptuous. I love it.

[@cardall]

Joshua, thank you so much for your comments and taking the time to write me. I'm so glad you enjoyed the music!

[@steff_9428]

This is such a beautiful song that really resonates with me. I've spent my entire life trying to find my self worth and at the age of 44 I am finally finding it. It has taken several years to "re-wire" my brain and let go of toxic beliefs that made me feel that I could never do and be enough in God's eyes to earn His love and be worthy to be in His presence. We do not have to do anything to earn God's love. He showed us two thousand years ago that His love and grace for all of us is endless.

[@imasure4965]

So true. Amen!

[@jimanddonnadexter523]

Two souls I greatly admire. It does hurt. But that beautiful light inside shines so bright.

[@jgrover85]

I’ve been sorting out my exit from Mormonism for 5 years…the pain is finally beginning to subside. I felt so alone for years when there was no one for me to talk to. I found this song while working in my garage, trying to distract myself from the pain. I just happened to shuffle into it. I literally sat on the cold concrete surface and cried while listening to this. Thank you to both of you, this has helped me heal so much.

[@cardall]

Thank you for taking the time to write me Jared and for being so honest. You have my prayers for continued healing and hope.

[@Exmormonology]

Beautiful. Completely. Thank you. It hurts. It hurts. It hurts. So much.

[@aileenmcintosh2162]

It will feel better eventually. I'm 6 years out from leaving the church and while I still get triggered, angry, and anxious about church-related things sometimes, it's SO much better than it used to be. Hang in there 💜

[@hillzhaveeyes_]

I’m not crying.. you are!! 😭❤️ love this so much!

[@JulioJoelRoncal]

This song helped me alot when I was needing to talk with God. I found many anwers that didn't depend from momron church. Now I look back in retrospective, and I feel good for hearing this song. Thanks

[@LittleLakey85]

This song touches me in ways I can't begin to describe. I can only say that I am so glad that I chose to walk away before my children were old enough to be harmed by the belief system I was raised in, and they were able to come out without any judgement, fear, or pain. Love is love. ❤

[@meganpatterson2858]

This song was so beautiful!! 2020 took a toll on me and my mental health, from emergency ankle surgery, losing my job having to replanned a wedding to only break up in the end. I’m still working on finding myself again, my confidence level took a major dive, but it also help me get on the right medication, to going to therapy, and going on a new career path of one that won’t stress me out so much. But in the end I am still holding out hope for me and my love finding our way back to each other. This song is worth the listen

[@cardall]

Megan, you have my support and I'm humbled you took the time to write me. I hope things keep getting better and better.

Thank God I'm in getting into a two-year transitional program come November December. Why is it? You're never believed and you're treated like nothing. God thank you for coming to my rescue so many times. God bless everybody. It doesn't matter what faith, what religion, what nationality? What you believe in? You're all human beings and you all deserve to be treated with respect and dignity

God loves EVEYONE! I left the church too, because I believe that we are ALL truly loved and God does not make mistakes. We are all made in his image. And if they are so single minded that they cannot see that, then shame on them. I have gay sisters, a transgender niece and a bi-sexual daughter. They are all so very beautiful and amazing.
