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!"
