Forgive Me

Father, Im going through some heavy things
It seems like this world aint getting any better
The more we try to get closer to You
The farther we run from Your throne

I spent so many nights wonderin when will it end
When will the day come when happiness begins
Im running the race but it seems so hard to win
Im sick of mourning, my stomach is throwing up in the morning

Im calling for help and watching it melt away
My hearts been put on display and put away
In many ways, many times I told myself it was okay
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 cant take it any longer, I can taste my spirit hunger
God please help me get home

Lord though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
Im not scared 'cause Youre holding my breath
I only fear that I dont have enough time left
To tell the world that theres no time left, Lord please

Lord though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
Im not scared 'cause Youre holding my breath
I only fear that I dont have enough time left
To tell the world that theres no time left

I come to terms that Im burning both sides of the rope
And Im hoping that self-control would kick in before Im choking off
The sin that be destroying every fiber I got
I need the Lord in every way, Ill never make it Im not

Going back to the way I was before Christ in my life
I couldnt do it I would lose it theres no point to the fight
And Im writing this song, for the people who dont belong
I pray away the pain you feel from all the things that went wrong

Inside a life thats filled with anger and disappointment
'Cause daddy treated you weaker than all of the other kids
Its 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 couldnt pay me to abandon the idea of true hope
That I could make it through this life into a place where theres no crying
Im dying to find You with open arms when I go
Knowing You love me and You waiting to give rest to my soul, oh

Lord though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
Im not scared 'cause Youre holding my breath
I only fear that I dont have enough time left
To tell the world that theres no time left, Lord please

Lord though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
Im not scared 'cause Youre holding my breath
I only fear that I dont have enough time left
To tell the world that theres no time left

Lord, I don't know what I'm struggling for
Theres got to be more than this life I know
But still Im here fighting to never give up
I find strength in Your love and You will see me through

Lord though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
Im not scared 'cause Youre holding my breath
I only fear that I dont have enough time left
To tell the world that theres no time left, Lord please

Lord though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
Im not scared 'cause Youre holding my breath
I only fear that I dont have enough time left
To tell the world that theres no time left

Lord though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
Shadow of death, shadow of death, shadow of death
Lord please

Lord though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
Im not scared 'cause Youre holding my breath
I only fear that I dont have enough time left
To tell the world that theres no time left
