God's love is so great that he was willing to suffer unimaginable pain and sacrifice for my sake, even though I am unworthy of such a gift. I'm not worthy of the scars in his hands. I know that I am not worthy of the sacrifice that God made by sending his only son to die on the cross for my sins. Nothing good have I done to deserve God's own son. Please bear with me, Lord.Īgain, please bring my focus back to what's truly important and remind me of the blessings and graces you have bestowed upon me. Just remember I'm a human, and humans forget.Īs a human being, I'm prone to forgetfulness and can often lose sight of the big picture when life gets hectic or challenging. Reveal to me how far God has brought me in my journey of faith, and remind me of the darker paths I could have taken without his guidance. Show me where you brought me from and where I could have been. Transport me through the memories of my life, reminding me of the moments when I felt closest to God and the blessings he has provided. Roll back the curtain of memory now and then. I'm prone to forget the true nature of my blessings and what really matters in life. God has given me these blessings to make my life richer and more fulfilling, but they aren't the true source of my joy and happiness. Jesus only lets me use them to brighten my life. They aren't truly mine, just things I've been allowed to enjoy for a time by God. The material possessions I care deeply for are fleeting and temporary. The things that I love, and hold dear to my heart are just borrowed they're not mine not mine at all. It challenges us to remember where we came from, and recognize the constant presence of God in our lives. Overall, "Remind Me Dear Lord" is a powerful reminder of the importance of humility and faith in a time where material possessions and personal gain are often valued above all else. The verse ends with the same plea for Jesus to remind her of her place in the world. The scars in His hands are reminders of His sacrifice, and the fact that He loved us enough to go to Calvary is a mystery that we may never fully comprehend. The second verse expresses the speaker's gratitude for Jesus choosing to die for her, despite her inability to deserve it. By asking Jesus to remind her, she is showing her willingness to remain humble and reliant on Him. She understands that humans are forgetful and need constant reminders of God's love and protection. In the chorus, Rambo asks Jesus to "roll back the curtain of memory" and show her where she came from and where she could have ended up without His intervention. She then states that Jesus allows us to use these things to brighten our lives, but reminds us that they are not ours. In the first two lines, Rambo emphasizes that we cannot hold on to anything forever, and that everything we love and cherish is only in our lives for a limited time. Although the group started out recording contemporary Christian music in the 1980s, it became known for southern gospel after the popularity of the Gaither Homecoming videos.Dottie Rambo's song "Remind Me Dear Lord" is a beautifully written prayer-like song that expresses the belief that everything we love in life is borrowed and temporary, with only Jesus being the constant source of light and love.
