Verse 1 It takes a lot to not let a thought get rotten Stepping into the distorting fortress and worship of conforming It’s hard to not get caught, or get across what I sought A believer believing the lies of the deceiver Under siege of the one who heaves Can you believe that? Can you believe him? Is it possible to be a man after God’s own heart? But if you read David’s part, it can still be hard Doubt leading to seasons of spiritual amnesia I wish I could shake this state but I’d like to take it Called to become the Son except I worship the sun But Jesus is in the boat with you and me And holds the power to calm the sea Then why doesn’t He? Believe me please, it’s for a reason I hope you’ll see, it’s just a season If you begin to believe in the God who’s breathing Listen for the whisper louder than the screams I know it’s hard that we can’t fully conceive But faith is in things we can’t see And if we could see our will wouldn’t be free Wait to hear how I’ve come to stand Jesus is here so take His hand
Break I don’t know why, I ignore what’s high But He came to die, for the things I cry Not all will fly but I will try To point your eyes up toward the sky
So why do I cry when the light’s suppose to take my life? Then why would I die if it seems so unsatisfying?
Verse 2 I see how seemingly lame it is But what a radical change there is For it won’t always be a distant engagement We can find contentment in His tent Trails and temptations but not worn and un-torn as the storm rages This is the hope you’ll find within His pages So get out of your cage and up from your basement For the latent call will then be blatant That His Word says He has overcome this world Why would I try and it be a lie If He cried before He even died Pray where you are, not where you think your should be He wants you further along where you belong But He won’t leave, He meets us where we are Don’t shoulder this alone—take our community Notice the laments don’t end with despair He is here but He won’t leave you there The wrong can seem like it’s winning So take the hand that we’re lending This outlet to let it all out Sing with me if you know what I’m talking about See that we have peace in the tribulations For He has taken our death and gifted salvation He’s not asking for you to come before in perfection Come here to take off your mask Come with me and we’ll face this task Because I can look like I have it all figured out Running through this race in only one pace But if you graze what’s behind my face you’ll see all this doubt Built up inside so let it all out For God has not forgot about us It’s here, the land of our possession So will you take it?—that’s the question
