Lord, do you even listen
Maybe you’re not there
Why’s everything against me
Maybe you don’t care
I am a wretch, I am a worm
I am addicted to these germs
Infecting my own heart
See it’s torn apart
Chased the world filled with empty promises
Left abandoned, stripped of confidence
Ashamed in failure, remain anonymous
Hitting rock bottom but it seems it’s bottomless
Emotional state in disbelief
Job, finances, house, swept from under me
20 G’s a month to a Chapter 7
Drowning in the sorrows of my Great Depression
Washed ashore by waves of mercy
Beaten, battered, broken, thirsty
Hungry, weak, torn, filthy, dirty
What would Holy want with something so unworthy
But You picked me up, cleansed, renewed me
Eyes were blind, restored my viewing
To see Your Word pierce a heart of concrete
Raising life through the cracks of my defeat
I will trust in You
When all my world around may crash and burn
I will trust in You
I’m trusting in Your promise and Your Word
I mostly wander the road
for this life is all I know
pain, betrayal, and disappointments
hard to call my house my home
Sojourner is now my nature
I can feel fatigue in my bones
Loneliness is my companion
and trust a detested foe
I hate being misunderstood
forsaken, and on my own
Left in my mind to wallow
and fight with his heart of stone
I just want my voice to be heard
Truly, I just want to be known
Wanna feel the warmth of affection
Wanna see that I’m not alone
Lord, i know that you listen
i know that you’re there
for the cross and your affliction
was to show you care
up there you hung and their you cried
in you the wrath was satisfied
and arms spread wide you loved me
arms spread wide, you loved me
I will trust in You
When all my world around may crash and burn
I will trust in You
I’m trusting in Your promise and Your Word
Lord, i will give you the pen to my soul
write me in your story for in you i am whole
so i will trust in you
when all the sands of life have washed away
i will trust in you
so promise me your love which never fades
