| Dear God, why should I think You’re good
|
| In a world that’s falling apart?
|
| The flags and lies, picket signs raised high
|
| The endless enveloping dark
|
| Now here we sit, drifting further from You
|
| Two thousand years on their way out
|
| Now here I am as I’ve grown to know You
|
| Still haunted by my fears and my doubts
|
| Just a man, just a vapor, just a waste of Your space
|
| All the good that I’ve done is in spite of myself
|
| I’m not sure that I can look You in your face
|
| When I finally set foot in Your kingdom
|
| Dear God, what went wrong?
|
| We hate ourselves, we hate our brother
|
| We so desperately want to find our way
|
| And all You say is, «Love one another»
|
| And little babies starve to death
|
| Emaciated, out of breath
|
| Unfaithful wives make vows untrue
|
| Husbands beat them black and blue
|
| Junkies vomit in the streets
|
| Writhing twitching in their skin
|
| Sell themselves to die some more
|
| Rotting from the outside in
|
| Parents steal the innocence
|
| From their children, scared and shaking
|
| Drink away the guilt at night
|
| Brings quiet to the endless aching
|
| And evil men boast on TV
|
| Swimming in a sea of wealth
|
| While misery beds honest men
|
| And lonely people kill themselves
|
| And everyone cries out your name
|
| As the world is raped by selfishness
|
| And no one knows the way to heaven
|
| We only know the emptiness
|
| And the storm, it rages in my heart
|
| And the endless empty roars in my ears
|
| My world is coming all apart
|
| I’ve no strength left to dry my tears
|
| And through it all I hear Your voice
|
| Breaking my heart, breaking my will
|
| Calms the storm inside my soul
|
| As You whisper, «Peace, be still»
|
| You place Your hands around my heart
|
| You quiet the emptiness in me
|
| A King that kneels, a God made a servant
|
| You set the captives free
|
| You wait for me, a wretch of a man
|
| No record of wrongs do You keep
|
| You are comfort when I mourn
|
| You are strength when I am weak
|
| Jesus Christ, the King of kings
|
| Though we ache, though we cry, never break, never die
|
| We sing of His great love again and again
|
| And His love reigns forever and forevermore
|
| Forever and ever, Amen |
