There’s a beggar down inside of me Standing on the corner of your street And my shame is my only company Could use some cash but can’t admit my need For what You got and what I could receive I need Your love to come and break the silence
Don’t stop the madness Don’t stop the chaos Don’t stop the pain surrounding me Don’t be afraid, Lord, to break my heart Just bring me down to my knees, yeah
But all I hear is what they’re selling me That God is love, He isn’t suffering And what you need’s a little faith in prosperity But oh, my God, I know there’s more than this If You promise pain, it can’t be meaningless So make me poor if that’s the price for freedom
Don’t stop the madness Don’t stop the chaos Don’t stop the pain surrounding me Don’t be afraid, Lord, to break my heart If it bring me down to my knees, yeah
In a marriage lost And the cry in the dark Don’t stop with Your love In a mother’s tear For the child who starves Don’t stop with Your love When we’re breaking down We’re falling apart Don’t stop with Your love And with new eyes to see This is Your mercy Don’t stop with Your love
Don’t stop the madness Don’t stop the chaos Don’t stop the pain inside of me Do whatever it takes to give me Your heart And bring me down to my knees, Lord Don’t stop, don’t stop Just bring me down to my knees, Lord
