not knowin what its all about
well I�m here to help you sort it out
I�m gonna help you to figure it out
Ya see GOD loves each and everyone
That�s why he sent down his only SON
He didn�t want anyone to die
That�s why JESUS was crucified
He bled and died upon a tree
To save from our sin the likes of you and me
His forgiveness is offered to you
Just ask him and you�ll know that it�s true
about all the things I say and do and I realize
I am not as I appear. I claim to Love Jesus yet
continue to sin. I claim to love Jesus yet I dislike
my fellow man. I claim to know him but I spend little
time with him. The warmth that I used to know is so far
gone that I no longer remember what it feels like.
The problems of the world leave me cold and bitter
like the harsh winter rain and I realize that I
am battered and worn beneath its icy sting.
But as great as all this pain and misery is, I am
still comforted by the words spoken so long ago by
the person known as Jesus of Nazareth, �I will
Never leave you nor forsake you� and even still
when he said �I am with you always even to the end
of the age�. No matter how battered and beaten I become
How great is the Love of Christ that it can overlook all of our transgressions
and love each and every one of us as we are and not as we should be
you gotta believe HE is the Way, and never forget that he ain't far
cause when the war is over and the night is done
then will come the MorningStar
I don�t have to fret
No I don�t even really gotta think about that
Cause I�ll be going home
When the trumpet sounds
I weep not because I mourn
Nor because I am sad
Though these are valid reasons just the same
They are not why I weep
I weep because God paid the ultimate price for our sin
And yet people still reject him
Yes this is why I weep
I weep for the lost
I weep for the hurting
I weep for the lonely
I weep for you
He is in control nothing happens that's beyond him
we may not understand, confused by all the distractions of life
but in the end it shall be made clear, we shall understand
that it all had to happened to glorify the one at God's right hand
can't imagine breathing without the knowledge of your existence
I can not see with my eyes or feel any longer
my heart has grown numb to the pain and suffering all around
but still I know that this one thing remains
God is forever there, always watching, always waiting
never too far, always so close
it is only by our own choice that we remain so far away
will this pain and sorrow ever end that I may feel His warmth again
wishing I was somewhere else...
feelings gathering dust upon a shelf
emotions locked away in a little red box
can't smile...refuse to frown
don't even see the rain...
about to drown...
