GOD'S WORD

It’s taken every bit of strength I can manage

Hours of pleading on my knees

Can’t bear the pain... I am  broken

I am finding it hard to believe

That everything happens for a reason

When innocent lives are torn apart

How can we justify such cruelty

Explain it to the newly shattered heart

~~~*Chorus*~~~

Wiping the tears from my Bible

Finding it so hard to see

Searching for the verse of the good fight

Locate it in 6:12 Timothy

Sobbing through Ecclesiastes

Renewing my faith in the Psalms

The tears have ceased by the Proverbs

In Romans I welcome the calm

It’s all here…

Everything I need…

The power, the truth, 

The reason I believe

It’s all here…

In every verse…

Living again

In God’s word

~~*~~

Not a soul could convince me that it happened

To bring about an ultimate good

I was screaming to the Heavens for answers

Fighting back in any way I could

All it did was drag me down deeper

Tighten a vise around my heart

Fury found no justification

For the innocent life torn apart

~~Lyrical Bridge~~

Everything you’ve seen, everything you’ve heard

Can be wiped clean as glass with God’s Word

All the pain, the broken hearts

The shattered lives, need a precious start

Leave it behind, all that you can

Open that Bible, seek His plan
~~*~~

~~~*Chorus*~~~
Wiping the tears from my Bible
Finding it so hard to see
Searching for the verse of the good fight
Locate it in 6:12 Timothy
Sobbing through Ecclesiastes
Renewing my faith in the Psalms
The tears have ceased by the Proverbs
In Romans I welcome the calm
It’s all here
Everything I need
The power, the truth, 
The reason I believe
It’s all here
In every verse
Living again
In God’s word
~~*~~

~~~Finale~~~
The pain will dull
The anger shall curb
You can live again 
In God’s Word
~~*~~
