when all else seem to fail, look up not out |
Job, Peter, and Me Their is a time when all I can do is listen to a clock go tick, tick, tick To learn I have no power to prevent the time it just lick, lick, lick Like an inferno set ablaze all in its path is just a wick, wick, wick To have this moment then not have the next can make you sick, sick, sick I've done that I could but not prevail, a flapping foot in the wind I just kick, kick, kick Who can I call, who can I tell, they know not my story, on me they'll pick, pick, pick Why laugh when really you want to cry, if only the liquid would fall from your eye I wont lie today is a very good day to be in a bad way to give up and die I've reached for the sky found not my pie, gave life my best yet still no answer why No shoulder to rest and sigh, no achor set to tie, adrift only in this heat to fry Their is a time when all I can do is listen to a clock go tick, tick, tick To learn I have no power to prevent the time it just lick, lick, lick Like an inferno set ablaze all in its path is just a wick, wick, wick To have this moment then not have the next can make you sick, sick, sick I've done that I could but not prevail, a flapping foot in the wind I just kick, kick, kick Who can I call, who can I tell, they know not my story, on me they'll pick, pick, pick Half in the grave, I keep my hands raised, I know I must keep them lifted, lifted, lifted Not yet who I am, things not as they seem, in truth I'm just shifted, shifted, shifted Plots not mine, yet for the world to see, how in Satan's plan I'm sifted, sifted, sifted I play this role, yet as I count blessings I see God keeps me gifted, gifted, gifted A race to win, upon my knees I cry LORD forgive where I have drifted, drifted, drifted Battle His, victory mine, He heard my plea and upon His wings I'm lifted, lifted, lifted |
