lyrics

Verse 1: I'm kneeling here, beside my bed/So many fears are running through my head/These wasted years are filling me with dread/I've shed so many tears for what's been left unsaid/Jesus in your word You said you won’t allow/Us to bear more than we can handle so would you tell me how/You could let a little kid suffer the pain I did/Hunted down like prey and beaten up no matter where I hid/God if you made me with purpose have you just been delayed?/Because I feel worthless, not lovingly made/Since the seventh grade I've had issues with lust/Likely stemming from this inability to trust/I know You offer life, but I keep courting death/So many failed tries, wish I could just reset/It's the same old line, guess I should save my breath/I've asked a thousand times but I don't feel forgiven yet/

Chorus: God what happens when I'm not okay/When I don't know what I'm supposed to say/When I just can't feel you there/I hope you care enough to hear me through my broken prayers/

Verse 2: I’m kneeling here on all my shattered dreams/The life I wanted is tearing at the seams/The only thing that ever feels routine/Is being overcome by my anxieties/For all my piety, I still don't feel whole/I'm just a waste unless I'm conquering another goal/It brings a heavy toll, always needing to win/It's like machinery is all that's underneath my skin/I've lost so many friends, I just won't let them in/So I start to pray cuz you're the only one still listening/God I want to believe that I'm doing this for You/I say I don't care about the money but is that really true?/I'm making moves like every other man/Hunger and poverty aren't part of the plan/But everything I need is there in Your hand/So I know I shouldn't doubt but there are giants in my promised land
