Lyrics

[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]
