LYRICS
I wouldn’t say I would’ve chosen it
That time I hit the bottom and it hurt a little bit
Funny how being down can make you look up
But now I’m better for it
All I could see in the moment was
My heart and how it felt ripped open, I’ll admit
I found You down low in the brokenness
And now I’m better for it
I count it all as joy even when I’m in the flame
Cause I know You always
Gimme, gimme, gimme grace when I need it
Hindsight 20/20, now I see that
You let me be where I’ve been
So I can be all that I am
You gimme, gimme, gimme faith to believe that
When it hurts, there’s a real good reason
You let me be where I’ve been
So I can be all that I am
Better for it
Yeah, I used to think pain was a consequence
But now I kinda think it might be the perfect gift
You use to get me straight to You
And I’m better for it
I’m better cause I’ll never have to be the way I would be
Without You, without You
Leading me where You want me
Down low
Down in the broken
I found You
And I’m better for it

What's wrong with dancing and express herself to God, even king David used dancing, shouting, new methods of worship in his times to God he was a man after God's own heart

[@joanalanegepitulan4755]

Exactly! I love dancing and praising Jesus!

[@eriyiangamoses9684]

She is only created a musician ,so not all are born to dance

[@nicole-wf4pe]

I did kind of feel this music video to be a bit off from her usual tones, but I wasn’t gonna say anything. Though I am glad you brought this up cuz sometimes we do tend to judge others on how they choose to worship God in song and dance. She is not dancing inappropriately nor are her lyrics bad at all. So I apologize to her for thinking this way. And you are right, David did dance for the Lord and we shouldn’t put down others for the way they choose to express their love and praise for Him. Ultimately it is all for Him, so let us uplift each other in doing so. 🙏🏼

[@Grace-wb3wo]

​@@eriyiangamoses9684 how do you know that she was only created to be a musician, I think that's up to God to deside and you don't need to be "born" to dance to dance for the Lord!

I'm a 62 year old Christian & the lyrics of this song has a profound message. I love how these young talents 'For Christ' take commonly profound lyrics and turn it into a profoundly unique song -- So gifted are these musicians. I love this song! God Bless you Riley and your band. Keep being simply BAD -- in an anointed kind of way! You go girl!!!

I know right she is a amazing singer ✝️❤️

[@bofriggstad]

20 years ago I never would've allowed myself to sing music with these kinds of lyrics, but now that I've been through the wringer, this song just resonates in the core of my spirit. To all those who are even remotely concerned about the way she sings/dances and whether it's distracting to you, just look for a version of this song that is lyrics-only like I did. I testify to this as a former pornography addict, that there is only so much a woman can do to not distract a man, and Riley has made a reasonable effort in this regard without quenching what I perceive to be the Holy Spirit moving upon her to show how God wants us to rejoice before Him in our own praise and worship. Did anyone else not notice that she's wearing something between a trench coat and a parka? At some point we have to take ownership of our eyes. Riley, God bless you, sister, and keep worshiping the King.

Thank you for singing this beautiful song! We are always better when we follow our Lord Jesus and have faith to continue. God bless you and your family ❤️

[@tiffanyshoultes9969]

She’s obviously feeling the music and there’s nothing wrong with her expressing herself through song AND dance. Honestly, this song makes me want to dance the same way. It’s upbeat and catchy. Why does her video have to be plain and boring just because it’s about God? Don’t be so uptight and judge her for expressing herself the way she wants to. She’s fully clothed and her style of dance is not the slightest bit distasteful. Nothing wrong with this at all. Be you, Riley! ❤️👏🏼

[@benitaybarra9969]

Tiffany Shoultes it's about God not our selves we are not supposed to be moving all our body like that it's not judging it's honesty. Let the Holy Spirit take control not your self🙏🏼

[@jesusfreak7796]

You can easily dance for fun without being sexy. We are no longer of the flesh and shouldn't bring ourselves down to the world's standards of dancing, etc. She has amazing talent, but you don't have to act sexy, especially when you are trying to make God pleased--not people.

[@evanwatkins6902]

I agree, however, maybe it wasn't all her fault. What if the producers told her to do that or something? And what do you expect from a 18 year old? Yeah, maybe if she was like 39 it would be unacceptable, but she is really young. I'm not saying that some of the movements were wrong, I'm just saying be reasonable. Every time I here this song I think about the comments about her body movement and makes it difficult for me to enjoy it, I know that this song has changed a life or helped someone in their life.

[@jesusfreak7796]

Evan Watkins I agree, but being an 18 year old myself, I think she should find another type of dancing, especially for a Christian music video. She should be an example of what a young Christian should do, I mean if she wants to be a positive influence in her music she should be in everything else too.

[@evanwatkins6902]

I agree.

[@missweenieboys2]

Thanks Riley and team. I am broken right now, but I have faith that I will be better in the end. God is Great!

[@tammymartineau5210]

weenieboys 2 I'll be praying for your brokenness! God loves you

[@daniellephongsay8422]

I’m broken as well, we all are. Let’s separate ourselves from the rest and be joyful because we know God is in control! Praise him through it all and finding joy through the hurt will separate ourselves from the world. It’s hard.... but I’m going to do it today!! God bless, I’ll be praying for you.

[@jonbyrom8288]

God loves you all very much no matter what. He wants you to lay down every fear, anxiety, shame, doubt, and pain at His feet and live in His freedom, peace, and joy. It's not about religion, but its about relationship with God. God loves you too much to let you in this brokenness, He will lift you up. God says that you are enough, you mean very much to Him. He wants you to start poring your oil and and he will give you more. Trust in Him. I'm praying for you all. God bless. 😇😇😇🙏🙏🙏 Always be joyful. Never stop praying. - 1 Thessalonians 5:16-17 Do not fear I am with you. - Isaiah 41:13 For the Lord himself will fight for you. Just stay calm. - Exodus 14:14 For God saved us and called us to live holy lives. He did this, not because we deserved it, but because it was his plan from the beginning of time. - 2 Timothy 1:9 For we have not been given the spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control. - 2 Timothy 1:7 The fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-disipline. - Galatians 5:22-23

Different type of music appeal to different ppl just because it's not what ur use too doesn't mean it isnt anointed..she is covers no booty shaking and it's got rhythm but most important it's got Word...." gives me strength when I need it" ..ppl need to break out of their bubble it's that mentally that keeps us stuck in religion n not in a Godly lifestyle. God is good and sees her heart and her worship.

[@sawyerc1997]

Love this song! The words remind us that even in the valleys there is hope that our God will work all things for good for those who love him and are called according to his purpose. You just never know what a person is walking through by looking simply from the outside. Planting small seeds among the unchurched as Christians is what we are called to do-not throw stones at each other and those that don’t act, look, and believe as we do. God simply wants us to Love all people, be a light, and replace judgement with encouragement. So proud of you Riley sharing your heart and songwriting with an honesty and vulnerability that many of us struggle to do as believers.🙏🏻❤️
