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
~~*~~
