All Alone

by Lipton   Nov 8, 2005


Looking up toward Heaven,
I felt the rain begin to fall,
I know whatever happened,
It all has to be my fault.

I tried to build it all alone,
I tried to hold it up all alone,
I let everything come crashing down,
Thinking I had everything under control...

Chorus:
Mindlessly going about my day,
I let it all come out this way,
I should've known it would end someday,
But I simply let it go.
Forgetting that God was there,
Forgetting that He cares,
I ignored it all and thought I could do it all alone...

I stopped my gaze at Heaven,
Knowing I had done it all alone...
Never quite accomplishing,
Just waiting 'til it all had blown.

I tried to fix it all alone,
I thought I could do it all alone,
I know that when everything came crashing down,
It was because I misplaced my trust in me.

Chorus:
Mindlessly going about my day,
I let it all come out this way,
I should've known it would end someday,
But I simply let it go.
Forgetting that God was there,
Forgetting that He cares,
I ignored it all and thought I could do it all alone

It's simple mistakes like these,
That brings the strongest men to their knees,
We place our trust in our sister and brother.
But God is where our trust should be,
We cannot do much of anything,
Without the strength and help of our Father.

Looking up toward Heaven,
I felt the rain begin to cease.
I know whatever happened,
Was because I trusted me.

Mindlessly going about my day,
I let it all come out this way,
I felt I knew the one, true way,
I told God I had it all under control...
But God in His ever-bounding love,
Showed me all that I had done,
And now I see that I can't do it all alone...
