Former Atheist Pens Original Song About New Relationship With God

One young singer-songwriter performed an original song about her transformation and journey from an atheist to a Christian.

The world is often a dangerous, dark and lonely place. Sadly, the world is full of lost people living in their sin and shame. Those individuals have no concept of the freedom and love that comes with having a personal relationship with the Creator of the universe. 

Olivia Lane was one of those people lost and living in sin. She was an atheist, choosing to believe that God did not exist and did not have a plan for her life. Now, in a video posted on Instagram, Olivia sings about her journey from a non-believer to someone who now knows Jesus Christ.

In the song’s opening line, Oliva mentions hearing two distinct thoughts and ideas when she was still an atheist. She states how people would tell her about a God who loved her unconditionally, but in the same breath, they told her how God was also angry and vengeful. They told her about fearing God. 

This resulted in Olivia becoming fearful of God, afraid to do something that would anger Him. But eventually, as she sings, she did find God through her tears and on her knees in prayer.

“But through these tears here on my knees
I’m begging you to come around
Then the God I learned to fear
You showed up and made it clear that You were there in the darkness”

In the caption to the video, Olivia states how she did not grow up in the church, and hearing about this conception of fearing God left her confused and scared.

“In talking with a lot of friends who grew up in the church, unlike me, they also struggled with understanding the true sentiment of the fear of God,” Olivia wrote. “Now having a better understanding of it, I can see how it’s a confusing topic if someone doesn’t teach you the biblical understanding of it.”

2 Timothy 1:7 “For God did not give us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of self-control.”
