[Intro] [grand piano arpeggios, rubato feel] [Verse 1] [soft baritone vocals] I cry out to you because you are my strength I put my strength inside your hands I know I'm simple-minded and I know I'm pretty weak I've made mistakes that led me to a broke place Please compensate [piano melody fill] I know at times I may have been a disgrace to the holy name who rules this world Maybe I haven't represented you well and I'm an embarrassment to the heavens [piano chords become more rhythmic] [Verse 2] [vocals increase in volume] I never knew I'd face such pain I never knew I'd feel this way I thought it'd be much easier to follow my Jesus' ways [piano arpeggios continue, strings enter with soft legato pads] [Chorus] [belted tenor vocals] And I'm calling to God Calling to God, I'm calling to you Continuing to call to you because I'm scared I'm hurt, I'm scared, and I'm hurt, and I'm scared, and I'm hurt, and I'm scared I'm so hurt and I'm so scared I'm hurt and I'm scared It hurts so bad and I'm scared [piano and strings build in intensity] [Bridge] [powerful vocals] You are everything to me Why would you keep yourself from me? Why would you go silent? Why wouldn't you comfort me when you are the comforter? Why wouldn't you lift my head when you are the lifter? Why wouldn't you shine when you're the bright and morning star? [piano plays rapid upper-register runs] Why wouldn't you rescue me when you're the savior who rescues? And why wouldn't you be the light in a dark, dark room? And why wouldn't you take my hand? [piano and strings reach peak volume] [Chorus 2] [sustained high notes] King over all King over all Lord over all God above all (Woo-ooh) (Woo-ooh) (Woo-ooh) [strings play melodic counter-melody] [Verse 3] [vocals become more reflective] I thought I knew you since I was a boy And now I wonder if I ever knew the secrets of God [belted vocals return] Have I ever known the truth? Have I ever seen your hands on the lost in those tough circumstances? Have I ever seen your works in my life? I know the answer's yes but man I don't know because it's hard to see past the hardship I'm facing [piano and strings decrescendo] [Outro] [soft piano arpeggios, strings fade out] What is faith if I don't believe in the middle of the storm? And what is faith if I only get what I received? And I resolve to believe no matter what it could be And what is love if it's what I can get? And what is love if it's all according to my specialness? But if I love you I'll choose you no matter what No matter if I'm broke and the girl I loved said no way And I'm thirty-two living in my parents' loft And all I've worked for was dissipated into the dust And the leaps I took thinking you called me there They don't look like it's where you were now And I've wondered if I just listened to a feeling And if I even know when your spirit's leading That's why I wonder if I even know what you sound like [vocals become a whisper] I need you, I need you, and where are you? I need you, and I love you, I'm not perfect, but I've prayed and prayed and read your words And I'm sorry because I know you never said it would be easy But I'm so hurt And I know it's nothing compared to what you did on the cross But it still hurts I'm not enjoying this I'm just burdened by the presentness That I can't seem to find the way to overcome Please come Please come Please come King Jesus, please come Please Please Please Save me Please do something [final piano chord rings out]
