Meaning & Inspiration

The air out here in the hog pen used to be thick with the stench of my own pride. I spent so long trying to trade my sweat for a seat at a table I didn't deserve, acting like I was building my own kingdom out of straw and bad decisions. Then I hear Dunsin Oyekan singing, "You never earned it / Never became it."

It stops me cold.

I’m used to the transactional stuff. You do enough, you get enough. You act right, you get noticed. That’s how the world works, and it’s definitely how I tried to run my life before I hit the bottom. But here he is, stripping away the illusion that I was ever the one in charge of my own standing. It’s a violent kind of grace, really—to be told that the things I thought I was achieving were never mine to possess or produce in the first place.

I’m still shivering from the cold outside, feeling the grit of the road under my fingernails, and these lyrics don’t try to paint over the mess. There’s no "fix-it" theology here. It’s just the raw weight of His nature. “You were God / You are God / You will always be God.”

That hits different when you’ve been running. When you’ve been the one holding the torch of your own ego, thinking you’re the protagonist of the universe, realizing He was God the whole time—while I was wasting time, while I was chasing shadows, while I was breaking my own heart—is terrifying. It’s not a comforting lullaby; it’s a collision. It reminds me of Exodus 3, where He just says, "I AM." No explanation, no justification, no apology for being who He is while I was busy being a wreck.

I don't think I’ve fully processed what it means that my failure didn’t interrupt His divinity. My mess didn’t make Him less, and my "best" days never made Him more. I’m still standing here with the smell of the world on my clothes, trying to figure out how to stand in the light without trying to negotiate my way into His favor.

Maybe that’s the point. I keep wanting to bring something to the table—a peace offering, a resume, a promise to do better—but the music keeps pointing back to His permanence. He was God when I walked away, and He was God waiting at the gate when I crawled back.

I don’t know if I’m "fixed." I’m still shaky. I’m still looking over my shoulder to see if the past is going to catch up. But there’s a strange relief in knowing that the rescue didn't depend on my progress. It just depended on Him being who He has always been. I don't need to earn anything. I just need to be found. And somehow, that feels like more than I can hold.
