Father, I'm going through some heavy things It seems like this world ain't getting any better The more we try to get closer to You The farther we run from Your throne
I've spent so many nights wonderin' when will it end When will the day come when happiness begins I'm running the race but it seems too hard to win I'm sick of mourning my stomach is throwing up in the morning
I'm calling for help and watching it melt away My heart's been put on display and put away In many ways, many times I told myself it was ok And anger was the price that was paid While these faded dreams just screamed to bring them home
The burden was too heavy I kept running from the throne I can't take it any longer I can taste my spirit hunger God please help me get home
[Chorus:] Lord though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I'm not scared cause You're holding my breath I only fear that I don't have enough time left To tell the world that there's no time left, Lord please Lord though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I'm not scared cause You're holding my breath I only fear that I don't have enough time left To tell the world that there's no time left
I've come to terms that I'm burning both sides of the rope And I'm hoping that self-control would kick in before I'm choking off The sin that be destroying every fiber I got I need the Lord in every way I'll never make it I'm not Going back to the way I was before Christ in my life I couldn't do it I would lose it there's no point to the fight And I'm writing this song, for the people who don't belong I pray away the pain you feel from all the things that went wrong Inside a life that's filled with anger and disappointment Cause daddy treated you weaker than all of the other kids It's annoying and I feel for all of you who wanna give up You feel stuck I feel the same way Lord help us stay up You couldn't pay me to abandon the idea of true hope That I could make it through this life into a place where there's no crying I'm dying to find You with open arms when I go Knowing You love me and You waiting to give rest to my soul
Lord I don't know what I'm struggling for There's got to be more Than this life I know But still I'm here fighting to never give up I find strength in Your love And You will see me through
