WE NEED THE LORD

WE ENTERTAIN OURSELVES IN OUR PARTY OF PITY
THINKING THAT THE WORST ONLY HAPPENS TO ME
DOWN ON MY LUCK NOTHING GOES RIGHT
TOSSING AND TURNING IN MY SORROWS EVERY NIGHT

GOD DOESN'T HEAR ME, HE COULD CARE LESS
I PRAY AND I PRAY, BUT IM STILL IN THIS MESS
I'VE EXHAUSTED MY ENERGY IN SAYING THESE PRAYERS
NOTHING WILL EVER CHANGE BECAUSE NO ONE REALLY CARES

MY BURDENS WEIGH HEAVY, ITS TAKING MY BREATH
IT SEEMS HEARTACHE AND MISERY ARE ALL THAT ARE LEFT
GOD HAS FORGOTTEN ABOUT ME, HIS SO CALLED CREATION
LEFT ALL ALONE IN THIS WORLD TO TOIL IM MY FRUSTRATIONS

BUT LET ME WHISPER A FACT TO YOU MY FRIEND
GOD HAS NOT LEFT YOU, HE'LL BE RIGHT THERE TO THE END
IF GOD FEELS FAR REMOVED ITS NOT BECAUSE HE'S LEFT
ITS AGAINST HIM THAT YOU HAVE TURNED YOUR BACK ON

WITHOUT HIM WE CAN DO NOTHING, WERE NOT IN CONTROL
IF WE DON'T ASK HIM IN THEN OUR HEART WILL ALWAYS HAVE A HOLE
WHICH IS GOD SHAPED THAT ONLY HE CAN FILL
OUR LIVES WILL BE IN DISARRAY UNTIL WE SUBMIT TO HIS WILL

WE NEED TO KILL AND BURY OUR PRIDE AND ADMIT THAT WE SIN
DROP TO OUR KNEES, CONFESS, PRAY TO INVITE HIM IN
HE'LL GLADLY TAKE UP RESIDENCE, ITS WHERE HE WANTS TO BE
YOUR LIFE WILL SURELY START TO CHANGE JUST YOU WAIT AND SEE

HIS BLOOD COVERED YOU FOR YOUR PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE
SO IF YOUR HEART IS BLEEDING FROM PAIN LET HIM BE THE SUTURE
ONLY HE CAN FIX THE PROBLEMS, ITS NOTHING WE CAN DO
THIS IS THE "REALITY" EVERYTHING HE SAYS IS TRUE

WE HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE BUT HAVE EVERYTHING TO GAIN
HE CAN RELATE TO OUR BURDENS OUR TRIALS AND OUR PAIN
EVERYTIME HE SEES US STRUGGLING IT BREAKS HIS HEART
HE HAS LOVED US SO MUCH RIGHT FROM THE VERY START

AND EVEN WHILE WE WERE STILL SINNING, HE WENT AND DIED FOR US
HE WOULD HAVE DONE IT EVEN KNOWING ONLY ONE SOUL WOULD TRUST
THAT IS HOW DEEP HIS LOVE IS FOR EVERY CREATED BEING
AL WE NEED TO HAVE IS FAITH, HOPE IN SOMETHING NOT SEEN

SO WE HAVE A CHOICE TO MAKE, SO WHAT WE'LL WE CHOOSE
TO CONTINUE IN OUR "WHOA IS ME" SYNDROME FEELING BROKEN AND BRUISED
OR SIMPLY ADMIT THAT WE NEED HIM AND WE CANT GO IT ALONE
I BELIEVE, WILL YOU? OR WILL YOU KEEP CLOSING YOUR HEART
TO HIM UNTIL ITS AS SOLID AS STONE
