Contemporary music with a message...

The beginning of this work goes back to the late '90s. Although a believer since 1983, I had allowed sin to once again rule my life with devastating results. Having come to my senses, I fell on my face and sincerely asked God to give me one more chance to be the man that He wanted me to be. God heard my prayer and began doing a serious work inside of me, one that I was finally willing to let Him do. Today I am a substantially different man, one who has begun to learn the value of abiding in Christ every day. To know Jesus Christ and to live openly and honestly before Him and other men is the focus of my life now. I hope that these songs somehow express that. It is my prayer that they will bring blessing, encouragement and healing to others like myself who love the Lord and are still in the battle against personal sin. We have a great Savior and He makes us... Free Indeed! God bless... Dale J. Mayer and , two great places to spend some time.

Story behind the song

One night last year I had a serious talk with the Lord about my life. And the Lord responded to me with the words to the chorus of this song. I still pray like this a lot... and I am still astounded that His response to me remains the same.

Lyrics

You’re Valuable To Me
Copyright ©2004 by Dale Mayer, All Rights Reserved

Verse 1
I look at all the messes that I’ve made;
And consider all the bad seed that I’ve laid.
I’m a hopeless disaster, Lord, it’s clear to see… that
I’m worthless,… please, just let me be.

Verse 2
I tried so hard to live my life for You,
But I’ve done so many things I didn’t want to do.
How could You ever forgive me, Lord?  It’s impossible for me to see;
I’m so worthless, Jesus,… just go away from me.

Chorus
My son, I know you feel that way;
But there’s just one thing I want to say…
You’re worth every drop of blood I paid for you;
And there’s nothing else I’d rather do
Than spend every night and day with you.
You’re valuable to Me.
And even if you’d been the only one
To ever put his faith in My dear Son,
There’s nothing different that I would have done.
You’re valuable to Me.


Verse 3
But Lord,I still struggle everyday;
And so often I still go my own way.
I’m just the same old mess inside, Lord, surely You can see… that
I’m still worthless, don’t waste Your time on me.

Chorus
My son, I know it may seem that way;
But listen now to what I say…
You’re worth every drop of blood I paid for you;
And there’s nothing else I’d rather do
Than spend every night and day with you.
You’re valuable to Me.
And even if you’d been the only one
To ever put his faith in Jesus, My Son,
There’s nothing different that I would have done.
You’re valuable to Me.
You’re not worthless, child,…  you’re valuable to Me.
