“I Never Knew You” by MA Shalom is a powerful spiritual warning wrapped in poetic conviction — a soul-stirring reflection on the destructive force of hatred, pride, and careless speech. Drawing on biblical imagery and timeless truth, the song calls listeners to self-examination, urging them to guard their tongues and purify their hearts before it’s too late.
Through vivid verses like “Your mouth is a snare, your tongue a flame” and “Miriam’s bitter voice, she spoke with disdain,” Shalom delivers a message that blends scripture, prophecy, and personal accountability. The haunting hook — “So many hearts will hear the words, ‘I never knew you…’” — echoes as both lament and call to repentance, reminding believers that spiritual deception often begins within.
Musically, the piece carries a somber yet redemptive tone — merging gospel soul with prophetic spoken-word energy. It exposes how hatred blinds the spirit but also offers a path toward grace, forgiveness, and renewal through love and restraint.
