where are you

​

Verse 1:​

watch your step and watch the line

i’m fading fast im out of time
i cannot forget who i am
second guessing every step
trying hard to do my best
but fearing that i’ll just fail one more time

​​

Pre-Chorus:​

and this bleeding heart
i’m watching it fall apart
with one question burning, searing into my very core
why don’t i hear You anymore?

​​

Chorus:​

how could i and where are You
without peace, without truth
do You hide Your face, You scorn my tears
i'm scared to death an You’re not here
You’re a God that doesn’t lie
You say seek and You will find
so here i am before You with one earnest, heartfelt plea
again i ask, again i scream
where are You?

​​

Verse 2:​

is it something i did something  i said
that’s now keeping You at bay
cuz i still go to sunday school, following the golden rule,
​

but what is this You speak of, this...grace? 

well i’ve heard in church so many times before
but i give it a try as i fall to the floor
and its slowly, suddenly, dawning upon me
i need this. oh i need this Jesus

​

​​

[Pre-Chorus]​

​​

[Chorus]​

​​

Verse 3:​

i see my reflection in the shard of a mirror​

i look in Your word, my reflection gets clearer:​

suffering from a disease - "dress-to-impress" hypocrisy​

piety was god to me

i left my first Love​

but love and grace are in Your embrace​

and Your arms are always open​

but first i must admit that i'm not on the throne​

i'm far, far below 'cuz i'm broken Jesus

​

Pre-Chorus 2:

my bleeding heart, You heal.​

​

Chorus 2:​

amazing grace! how sweet the sound​

what once was lost, You have found​

amazing grace has set me free​

alive in Christ, and He in me​

amazing grace! how sweet the sound​

what once was lost, You have found

there on the cross for all to see​

was the picture of Love for humanity​

screaming, screaming,

"I love you!"
