Who I Thought You Were” by @OliviaLaneMusic is a heartfelt and powerful song that reflects the journey of discovering the true nature of God. The lyrics remind us that God is not someone to fear or misunderstand but a loving, compassionate Father who is present in our darkest moments, our pain, and even in the valleys of life.
“You were there in the darkness, You were there in my pain, You saw me in the valleys and still loved me anyways.” These words capture the beauty of God’s grace and His steadfast presence, even when we feel unworthy or alone. The song speaks to a transformative realization of who God truly is—one who loves us deeply, beyond our misconceptions or fears.

1. Psalm 34:18
“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.”

2. Romans 8:38-39
“For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers… will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
