Lord.. Do you hear me??

‘O Lord!!

I am down on my knees,

…Do you hear me??

Written to you prayers,

I’ve carved deep into my skin..

Jesus!! …Can you take away from me this addiction, the pain I carry deep within..

(Guitar cries low, bending like it’s carrying the same scars.)

I been whisperin’ to the heavens from a place,

I shouldn’t have been..

Hands shakin’, heart breakin’, tryin’ to wash off old sins.

Every night I felt the darkness pullin’ me back in..

I kept callin’ your name through the hurt underneath, inside of my skin…

Verse 2

I been reachin’ out,

Praying, with trembling hands..

tryin’ to find a place,

where it is I stand..

Talkin’ to the sky,

it’s the only one that understands…

These shadows that once held me still,

whispering to me where I’ve been..

Lord Jesus!! I’m beggin’ you to pull me past this hurt,

What lies deep beneath my skin…

Anger for this depression,

Drowning me in sorrows…

Killing myself in the mirror again!!

I walked these roads,

The ones that have felt like graves..

carried alone nights on end,

that felt weighted down in chains..

Tried to drown the fire burnin’ in my blood,

with a poison coursing through my veins..

seeking endless retribution,

vowing to be paid it’s debt…

in guilt & shame!

---

CHORUS

Lord God… if you hear me,

I’m beggin’ you to lift this weight within..

The one I’ve been fightin’ with,

these shadows that keep crawlin’ ‘neath my skin.

Jesus, if you’re listenin’,

take this hurt I’m drownin’ in…

’Cause I’ve carried this addiction,

like a cross I never meant to pin.

And when the night gets quiet,

all my demons crept back in..

So I’m callin’ out your name..

Lord I need you with me again…

hopin’ your mercy finds me,

hoping’ you forgive my sins!!

VERSE 3

I’ve been standin’ in the ruins of the man I used to be,

Tryin’ to scrape the past..

like old mud clingin’ to my feet.

Every promise that I broke,

still echoes down in my chest..

Like a ghost that won’t stop hauntin’,

every time I try to rest..

I ain’t askin’ for a crown,

ain’t reachin’ for your throne..

Just hopin’ you can hear me,

when I’m cryin’ out alone..

’Cause the battles that I have fought,

left scars I can’t defend..

I’m prayin’ you remember me,

I was tryin’ Lord… even when I sin!!

BRIDGE

The room goes still,

when the truth starts spillin’ out..

Every whisper from my past,

turns into a shakin’ shout..

I’ve been standin’ at the edge,

of everything I’ve ever feared.

Hoping you can hear me Lord,

in the places no one else can…

And the guitar bends low,

like it’s weepin’ for those sins..

Every note a confession of the battles,

I fought to keep within..

If redemption’s on the line,

Lord, then I’m reachin’ out again..

I’m tryin to rise above the darkness,

I once buried myself in!!
