Album | The Fear Of God |
[00:01.57] | dear God, why should i think you're good |
[00:08.76] | in a world that’s falling apart? |
[00:14.88] | the flags and lies picket signs raised high |
[00:21.36] | the endless enveloping dark |
[00:26.70] | |
[00:29.55] | and now here we sit, drifting further from you |
[00:36.24] | two thousand years on their way out |
[00:44.09] | and now i am here, and somehow i know you |
[00:50.30] | still haunted by my fears and my doubts |
[00:56.89] | |
[00:57.44] | just a man, just a vapor, just a waste of your space |
[01:04.97] | all the good that i've done is in spite of myself |
[01:12.44] | i'm not sure that i can look you in your face |
[01:19.40] | when i finally set foot in your kingdom |
[01:25.96] | |
[01:32.25] | dear God, what went wrong? |
[01:37.56] | we hate ourselves, we hate our brother |
[01:45.36] | we so desperately want to find our way |
[01:52.11] | and all you say is 'love one another' |
[02:00.33] | |
[02:18.40] | and little babies starve to death emaciated, out of breath |
[02:25.48] | unfaithful wives make vows untrue, husbands beat them black and blue |
[02:33.12] | junkies vomit in the streets writhing, twitching in their skin |
[02:40.34] | sell themselves to die some more, rotting from the outside in |
[02:47.67] | parents steal the innocence, from their children, scared and shaking |
[02:55.08] | they drink away the guilt at night, brings quiet to the endless aching |
[03:02.13] | evil men boast on TV, swimming in a sea of wealth |
[03:09.08] | while misery beds honest men, and lonely people kill themselves |
[03:16.57] | and everyone cries out your name, as the world is raped by selfishness |
[03:23.69] | and no one knows the way to heaven, we only know the emptiness |
[03:30.90] | the storm it rages in my heart, the endless empty roars in my ears |
[03:38.06] | my world is coming all apart, i've no strength left to dry my tears |
[03:45.41] | and through it all i hear your voice, breaking my heart, breaking my will |
[03:53.02] | calms the storm inside of my soul as you whisper 'peace, be still...' |
[04:00.92] | |
[04:01.22] | you place your hands around my heart, you quiet the emptiness in me |
[04:14.51] | a king that kneels, a God made a servant, you set the captives free |
[04:28.65] | you wait for me, a wretch of a man, no record of wrongs do you keep |
[04:43.22] | you are comfort when i mourn, you are strength when i am weak |
[04:57.85] | Jesus Christ, the king of kings |
[05:01.74] | though we ache though we cry, never break never die |
[05:06.36] | we sing of His great love again and again |
[05:12.36] | and His love reigns forever, and forevermore |
[05:20.09] | forever and ever amen |
[05:31.68] |
