Half of me just walked away |
|
And the other half is trying not to stay |
|
Help me see the hope that's past the rain |
|
Restore the joy within me and |
|
Speak to me thru the pain |
|
This kind of news would make a grown man cry |
|
The kind of man who knows the answers but he still asks why |
|
Why are you down cast oh my soul |
|
My team expects so much from me, I can't let them know |
|
That I'm not finding joy and my faith's dying slow |
|
I gotta go on preaching I gotta go on with the show |
|
Gotta grace the stage, I gotta make the crowd say oh |
|
Only problem is I'm not believing in the words I flow |
|
So I look to sky I know the hour has come |
|
Please remove this thorn from me cuz my soul feels numb |
|
I got these liars in my head asking where my faiths gone |
|
I don't feel happy and I don't even care to fake for them |
|
They think me showing pain is the denial of Christ |
|
Because my tears up in my food all day and night |
|
Half of me hopes in the Lord and knows I'll praise again |
|
The other half wants an excuse to wallow in my sin |
|
They say count it all joy, I got questions about how |
|
Theres answers after death but I need answers right now |
|
I know this to shall pass, whether slow or fast |
|
Loosen my grip on the world and for you I grasp (2x) |
|
He feels he fled temptation to long, so He's tried of fighting |
|
He no longer finds his marriage exciting |
|
She's drowning in depression in the rain |
|
She can't maintain, Lord can you help her ease the pain |
|
A father gets news that his newborn son has complications |
|
He has no idea what he's faced with |
|
He thinks no prom, no college, no athletic fun |
|
No matter his disabilities I'm not ashamed of my son |
|
Lord I pray with all my heart that when his life on earth is done |
|
He'll understand that you and the son are one |
|
One families prays together for financial needs |
|
Father feels inadequate cuz he aint worked in weeks |
|
He been laid off he may loose his car and home |
|
He thinks what good is a man who cant provide for his own |
|
He sees the pain in wife and children's eyes |
|
Contemplating suicide cuz dead men don't cry |
|
Lord give him eyes to see past the pain |
|
That his value in life, shouldn't come with things |
|
I know this to shall pass, whether slow or fast |
|
They are losing their grip I hope for you they grasp (2x) |
|
I wont let this current pain master me |
|
What is pain actually |
|
Lets not address it causally but I don't want to fear pain |
|
Lets count it all joy its is gain |
|
Dear life is in my palms and I'm holding on |
|
Strength is an illusion right along with this calm that I'm on and I'm feeling far gone- |
|
Cause half of me is hoping that my eyes won't open in morn' |
|
Sorrow is my tongue hear my moans |
|
I'm eager for redemption but I know |
|
There's more than meets the eye to the thorns in my side |
|
So I cry refusing all the lies |
|
Pain is my ally when aligned to who you are |
|
There's more to my scars so I know there's more to yours |
|
I'm resting in your arms |
|
I'm resting in the your wrists |
|
I'm pressing with a limp pain is purposed through your gift |
|
I'm strengthening my grip may this faith in u persist |
|
And when this half insists I pray u breathe in me lament |
|
Amazing is your grace cause while I'm holding you it seems |
|
The truth of the matter is your really holding me |
