The Great Depression

lyrics

THE GREAT DEPRESSION

Day by day Sin consumes me,
And I become restless.
I wonder when I will be fully washed of this sin,
No longer capable of committing it.
Lord, I struggle to know that you are God
The one who lead me out of the wilderness.
And in the darkest moments of my life
When I contemplated suicide.
I feel so alone and without a place
I feel worthless like a man with no face
I am not sure when I will see the day
I’m not sure I will make it past tonight
I reach out in the darkness
Searching for light
And after all my searching
Something tells me to trust you
You give me a new name
You give me hope to breathe again

What baal’s do I worship now?
How can I put them to death?

I am restless and need to rest in you
Lord, I want to be free,

I am restless and need to rest in you
Lord, I want to be free,

And I am a slave to my sin
I may just give in.
I may give into my depression
God, take these chains
They seek to hold me back

I feel like these demons
Are sitting on my chest
I lost my friend
And somehow, I feel like I will lose you
I’m really not that great
I turn everyone way
And you tell me I don’t have to be good enough
I know that’s why you sent your son
But sometimes it’s hard to think
When you feel so far from me
When will you take me out of the miry clay?
Have mercy on me God
I don’t know how much more I can take

Help me to see the light
I’ve been walking around so blind
Graves continue to line the ground
That I walk
And everywhere I turn
I can’t run from your sight
I’ve been walking around so blind

Help me to see the light
I’ve been walking around so blind
Graves continue to line the ground
That I walk
And everywhere I turn
I can’t run from your sight
I’ve been walking around so blind

I am restless and need to rest in you
Lord, I want to be free,

I am restless and need to rest in you
Lord, I want to be free,

Help me to see the Light

John 8:12
Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”
