Lament - Tim Be Told

[00:18.65]You say You are jealous
[00:21.05]You say You are kind
[00:22.88]But the 'jealous part' seems to win all the time
[00:28.50]If You're so mighty, why do you break
[00:32.88]The weak and the weary, and see what they make
[00:37.61]
[00:46.95]You say You're forgiving
[00:49.20]That You'll not forsake
[00:51.70]But You punched me out when I made a mistake
[00:56.35]I try to find beauty in the mess that You made
[01:01.18]But You just stayed angry and never forgave
[01:06.05]Yes, I know You are great
[01:09.75]But is a bad God better than none?
[01:15.75]How much more will it take to undo the damage that You have done?
[01:24.40]'Cause the wicked and wayward continue to thrive
[01:29.10]And the martyrs continue giving their lives
[01:33.50]Oh, the faithful never survive
[01:38.20]Oh, the faithful never survive
[01:43.78]
[01:53.00]You're the almighty, so I am afraid
[01:57.46]You crushed me to pieces, then stole what I made
[02:02.20]If this hopeless delusion is a righteous man's fate
[02:06.50]I don't know how much more I can take
[02:11.90]Yes, I know You are great
[02:15.50]But is a bad God better than none?
[02:21.78]How much more will it take to undo the damage that You have done?
[02:30.30]'Cause the wicked and wayward continue to thrive
[02:35.05]And the martyrs continue giving their lives
[02:39.50]Oh, the faithful never survive
[02:44.15]Oh, the faithful never survive
[02:49.69]
[03:08.35]God are You listening?
[03:10.65]Please hear my cry
[03:12.25]I don't really believe You're more cruel than You're kind
[03:17.65]But I'm getting tired of repeating this line
[03:22.00]That the faithful never survive
[03:27.21]Yes, I know You are great
[03:30.60]That You're a good God, and You are love
[03:37.00]How much more can I take to undo the damage that I have done?
[03:45.65]Please conquer these demons and the darkness inside
[03:50.88]Shine Your light on this poor heart of mine
[03:55.30]Maybe my faith will survive
[04:00.14]Maybe my faith will survive
[04:04.80]Maybe my faith will survive
