Bruised and battered
It seems like nothing matters Inside I am torn and tattered Beaten down by lives trials I've walked this broken road for miles I have not felt well for a while Will life ever get better ? I am tired of feeling weathered I feel tossed and faded I have become jaded Will this broken road ever find light ? I need your strength to finish this fight Help me God steer me right because I need your help and your might In the still the storm rages
don't let your eyes gaze at it Instead keep your focus on the rock of ages pay no mind to the storm when it hits When lives storm comes crashing in lean on and trust in the one who is true the battle for you he will win and he will calm and comfort you Don't give in to the storm's threats keep your faith standing tall Remember the saving is his and he's not done yet he won't let your foot slip and or let you fall The storm may make it seem that you are on shaky ground But look to him when you feel like all hope is lost for he can be found he will carry and save you no matter what the cost So when the storm continues to roar keep your focus on God the one who won't let you down In the midst of the storm he will help you rise and soar Hold his hand and trust in him because he won't let you drown When life comes crashing down and I don't understand
I reach for you and your hand Even when sickness knocks me down I reach for you cause I know you won't let me drown I reach for you and on you I rely because deep within you give me hope to continue and try you give me peace when life causes sighs you reach down and save me because you won't leave me to die I trust in you when I am too weak to stand I reach out for you and you lift me up with your hand you give me the strength deep within you help me to stand on solid land Your hand is reliable, solid, and strong I reach out to you and you lift me up when everything goes wrong you silence all my fears you take the pain and give me a peaceful song When all goes wrong I can rely on you you reach down and piece me back together like glue with your hand you heal me and make me new you are reliable strong, faithful, and true I fight the same battle time after time
I can't stop these thoughts that go through my mind Outside I appear to be fine but inside I feel like I am dying Inside I fight these battles that torment my soul Inside these battles stay and continue to go untold I feel like there is nothing left for me to uphold Inside I feel I am slipping and cold These Thoughts return and torment time after time If I told you I am fine I would be lying If I told you everything was okay I would be lying Truth is deep within I don't feel like even trying Time and time this battle I fight Time and time again I lose my sight I lose my sight of the path that is right Time and time again I fight to see the light Time and time again in my mind I crawl through this gutter of dirt Time and time again I rehearse my wounds and hurts I don't want to remember these hurts I want to stop but no matter what I do I fail and again my heart drops Deep within I know there has got to be hope for this torment within, there has got to be something to help me cope There has got to be a lifeline , something to help this end There has got to be something to help me win God I know you are there, I know you see me hurt I know you watch as I crawl through this dirt on my face I know you see my hurt and struggles, of it you see every single trace please help me stand and be free through your grace |
