Can't Let Me Down

We pray to our gods of money
And to our bodies
Sweet like honey
And it's funny

Cause I see the temporary
And I think it contrary
To grasp for a mist
Cause when you open your fist
All you see is disappointment

Jesus can't let me down
He's the one I can count on
In a smile, in a frown
He won't let me down

I don't wanna listen to Youth
It tells me to live it up
I prefer the truth
Need no sign for proof
Cause I can just go on Your word

Don't wanna be
That wicked and perverse generation
Raise my eyes up
To wait on your voice

Cause I see the temporary
And I think it contrary
To grasp for a mist
Cause when you open your fist
All you see is frustration

Jesus can't let me down
He's the one I can count on
In a smile, in a frown
He won't let me down

When days run into the next
Nothing new under the sun
I smile, not perplexed
Cause you said it'd be this way
So I can count on...

Not me, not my
Not my generation
Not answers from foolish Youth
But seek... and wait... and listen

(quietly)
He can't let me down...
He won't let me down...
Jesus can't let me down...
His blood's never NOT enough...
In a smile in a frown
He's never let me down

(louder)
Our gods of money
Oh oh honey
And your little body
(quiet) they fade, but...

(louder now)
Jesus can't let me down --Jesus can't let me down--
He's the one I can count on --Can't let me down--
In a smile, in a frown --Can't let me down--
He won't let me down --Jesus can't let me down--
Jesus can't let me down --... Jesus can't let me down--

One long breathe

Jaw clenched
Heart aches
Breath heavy
One long breathe

I hate that feeling

Almost pity my self-pity

But then I realize

I am lame in that moment

Eyes blank

Feel tired

Look around

One long breathe

Say it's not real
It wasn't supposed to be like this

Things are such amiss

Say it's not done

Your hand

Our failure

The past

One long breathe

At least we know

There's always tomorrow

I'm not who I used to be

Don't even like that guy

Many reasons

Countless seasons

Look ahead

One long breathe

I'm not that man anymore

I keep telling myself

I've run from so many

But can't run from myself

I've seen a miracle

I've seen a change

I've seen new life

And now I've seen life new

Jaw clenched
Stars above 
Breath easy
One long breathe

Time passes

Seasons change

Men grow old

And I'm not stuck to me anymore

I don't need to know the "When?"
Don't need the "Why?"
Life's so dry

When your always asking

And never listening

This Too Will Pass

What seems, right now
Like such hell
Because you feel
Like you fell
It will eventually
Be forgotten

You can't just blame
The things and pain
Of your past
And your shame
So just stand up

You say you need
To take some time
Just please know
That times heals
And this too will pass

We all go through
Things that blew
Our heart away
We never knew
How hard it'd be

I hope and pray
This seeming wound
Of a friend
Turns to happiness
In the end

You say you need
To take some time
Just please know
That times heals
And this too will pass

I hope you know
If you were on the other end
Of this thing
You, I would defend

You can't run away
From who you are
But you can
Change from what you've been
And start again

You say you need
To take some time
Just please know
That times heals
And this too will pass

Cause every day
Wakes up new
When she lights up
With the dew

You say you need
To take some time
Just please know
That times heals
And this too will pass

So sister please
If you remember
Just one thing
Just please know
That this will pass

I know that you
Took some time
So please know
That just as time will pass
This too will pass

This was a hard thing for you, I know. Just know that it doesn't last forever and that you are already forgiven. The hardest part will be the walking out of the aftermath with your friends.
