Verse 1
I kneel in the quiet where the night feels long,
Hands shaking softly, like a half-forgotten song.
I feel Your love like the warmth of the sun,
But I fear in my heart I'm the faithless one.
I walk through the days with a war in my chest,
A soul that is tired but still seeking rest.
I stumble through choices I knew were wrong,
And I wonder if I still belong.
Pre-Chorus
I hear a whisper in the dark of my mind,
Saying I'm broken, beyond what You'll find.
Chorus – The Tempter
"You're too far gone, you fall every time,
Your prayers are empty, your hope is a lie.
God doesn't want what you turned yourself into,
Come walk with me, I'll make the pain untrue."
Verse 2
But I cry through the silence, through shame and through fear,
"God if You hear me, please still be near."
I know that I fail in the heat of the fight,
Trading Your truth for a moment's delight.
My heart feels heavy with the weight of my sin,
A war that keeps raging under my skin.
I want to be stronger, I want to be new,
But I don't know how to reach You.
Pre-Chorus
The whisper grows louder inside of my head,
Telling me hope for a soul like mine's dead.
Chorus – The Tempter
"You're too far gone, you fall every time,
Your prayers are empty, your hope is a lie.
God doesn't want what you turned yourself into,
You're only a sinner—your faith isn't true."
Bridge – The Prayer
So I fall to my knees in the dark once again,
With nothing but scars and a heart full of sin.
"Father I'm weak and I know that it's true,
But I'm still reaching upward to You.
If mercy is real, if grace still remains,
Then pull me from out of these chains.
I can't be the man that I need on my own,
So please don't abandon Your wandering son."
Silence
Final Chorus – God's Voice
"My child, I've heard every prayer that you cried,
Even the ones you tried to hide.
You think that your failure has driven Me away,
But My love never left you a single day.
I knew every fall you would ever face,
And still I chose you, still gave you My grace.
The battle you're fighting means faith still lives,
And mercy is endless for those who forgive.
So rise from the ashes where guilt has you bound,
My lost little sheep is finally found.
You are not perfect, but you are Mine,
And I will not leave you behind."
Outro
And the whisper fades in the breaking dawn light,
The war in my chest still there to fight.
But hope stands stronger than all of my shame,
Because God still called me by name.
