Tim Be Told - The Lament lyrics

rate me

You say You are jealous

You say You are kind

But the 'jealous part' seems to win all the time

If You're so mighty, why do you break

The weak and the weary, and steal what they make

You say You're forgiving

That You'll not forsake

But You punched me out when I made a mistake

I try to find beauty in the mess that You made

But You just stayed angry and never forgave

Yes, I know You are great

But is a bad God better than none?

How much more will it take to undo the damage that You have done?

'Cause the wicked and wayward continue to thrive

And the martyrs continue giving their lives

Oh, the faithful never survive

Oh, the faithful never survive

You're the almighty, so I am afraid

You crushed me to pieces, then stole what I made

If this hopeless delusion is a righteous man's fate

I don't know how much more I can take

Yes, I know You are great

But is a bad God better than none?

How much more will it take to undo the damage that You have done?

'Cause the wicked and wayward continue to thrive

And the martyrs continue giving their lives

Oh, the faithful never survive

Oh, the faithful never survive

God are You listening?

Please hear my cry

I don't really believe You're more cruel than You're kind

But I'm getting tired of repeating this line

That the faithful never survive

Yes, I know You are great

That You're a good God, and You are love

How much more will it take to undo the damage that I have done?

Please conquer these demons and the darkness inside

Shine Your light on this cold heart of mine

Maybe my faith will survive

Maybe my faith will survive

Maybe my faith will survive
