MY LIFE WAS IN SHAMBLES
I DIDN’T KNOW WHAT TO DO
SO I HAD A TALK WITH GOD TO SEE IF HE COULD MAKE SENSE OF WHAT I WAS GOING THROUGH
I SAID LORD, TALK TO ME PLEASE AND WHAT YOU SAY MAKE IT CLEAR
I AM HE WHO HATH AN EAR SO SPEAK SO I CAN HEAR
SON….I’VE BEEN BATTERED AND BEATEN TALKED ABOUT AND USED
SPIT ON AND CHEATED, LEFT HALF DEAD AND LOOKING NEARLY DEFEATED
SO FROM YOU DEAR LORD, A WORD I NEEDED TO HEAR
BUT THEN I THOUGHT HOW COULD HE KNOW…THEN I BEGAN TO FEAR
THE FIRST THING I HEARD IN THE MIDDLE OF MY CHORES
SON…REMEMBER AS THE HEAVENS OUR HIGHER THAN THE EARTH SO ARE MY WAYS HIGHER THAN YOURS
I PAUSED FOR A SECOND AND SAID THIS IS SO TRUE
BUT HOW COULD HE RELATE TO WHAT I WAS GOING THROUGH
HE SAID DON’T FRET MY SON. RELAX AND NEVER FEAR
MR. HE THAT HATH AN EAR…I AM ABOUT TO SPEAK AGAIN SO LISTEN AND HEAR
I CAME DOWN FROM THE HEAVENS AND PUT ON HUMANITY
TO BE A SACRIFICE, AND A ROLE MODEL FOR THE WHOLE WORLD TO SEE
SURELY YOUR SORROWS I’VE COVERED AND YOUR GRIEFS I BORE
AND NAILED THEM TO THE CROSS SO THERE’S NO NEED TO WORRY ANYMORE
I WOULD BEAR THE SINS OF MANY AS IN EVERYONE AND BRING TO ALL SALVATION
IN HOPES YOU WOULDN’T BE DIVIDED, BUT ONE GODLY NATION
WHILE ON EARTH I LEARNED OBEDIENCE PUSHING PAST THE FLESH… AND WHAT I SUFFERED THROUGH WOULD HAVE KILLED YOU
SO DON’T THINK I DON’T KNOW. THE TRUTH IS……I FEEL YOU
