Talk to Jehovah

[Verse 1]
Used to call my brothers every evening
Laugh about the day ’til the night rolled in
Now it’s quiet in this little apartment
Four walls
One chair
And the echo of them
I reach for my phone
Then remember
Tear on my thumb as the screen stays dim
Every story that I wish I could tell them
Just sits heavy
Sittin’ deep within
[Chorus]
So I talk to Jehovah
Like they still in the room
I say
“Lord
Can You tell ’em
I’ll be seein’ ’em soon?” (yeah)
When this world feels empty
And I’m standin’ alone
I just talk to Jehovah
And He carries me home
[Verse 2]
People say “I’m sorry for your losses”
Then they disappear with the setting sun
Got a crowd of faces on a Sunday
But when the night falls
I don’t have one
So I pour my hurt out on the pillow
Name by name as the shadows grow tall
“Father
If You’re listenin’ in heaven
Won’t You hold ’em while You’re holdin’ my heart?”
[Chorus]
So I talk to Jehovah
Like they still in the room
I say
“Lord
Can You tell ’em
I’ll be seein’ ’em soon?” (oh)
When this world feels empty
And I’m standin’ alone
I just talk to Jehovah
And He carries me home
[Bridge]
I’m fightin’ through the anger
Through the questions
Fightin’ just to lift my hands again (lift my hands again)
But every time I whisper
“Abba
Help me”
I feel a strength that didn’t come from men
’Cause You never left
You never will
In the silence
You are real
When I got nobody else to hear my cry
[Chorus]
I just talk to Jehovah
Like they still in the room
I say
“Lord
Can You tell ’em
I’ll be seein’ ’em soon?” (yeah, yeah)
When this world feels empty
And I’m standin’ alone
I just talk to Jehovah
And He carries me home
[Outro]
I talk to Jehovah
’Cause He knows every tear
Lost my two best friends
But my God is still here (still here)
I talk to Jehovah
’Til I see them again
Faith in our Lord
Is the fight that I win
