[00:17.43]You who live in heaven
[00:20.31]Hear the prayers of those of us who live on earth
[00:26.08]
[00:26.75]Who are afraid of being left by those we love
[00:32.24]And who get hardened by the hurt
[00:37.79]Do you remember when You lived down
[00:41.62]here where we all scrape
[00:44.60]To find the faith to ask for daily bread
[00:50.35]
[00:51.12]Did You forget about us
[00:54.15]
[00:54.72]Do You had flown away
[00:58.11]Well I memorized every word You said
[01:03.15]
[01:05.26]Still I'm so scared I'm holding my breath
[01:10.57]
[01:11.43]While You're up there just playing hard to get
[01:17.09]
[01:28.89]You who live in radiance
[01:32.02]Hear the prayers of those of us who live in skin
[01:38.00]We have a love that's not as patient as Yours was
[01:43.89]Still we do love now and then
[01:47.93]
[01:48.90]Did You ever know loneliness
[01:52.58]Did You ever know need
[01:55.85]Do You remember
[01:56.88]just how long a night we get?
[02:01.52]
[02:02.60]When You were barely holding on
[02:06.10]And Your friends fall asleep
[02:09.22]And don't see the blood
[02:11.05]that's running in Your sweat
[02:15.20]
[02:16.11]Will those who mourn be left uncomforted
[02:21.53]
[02:22.52]While You're up there
[02:24.08]just playing hard to get?
[02:28.23]
[02:30.77]And I know you bore our sorrows
[02:35.51]
[02:37.80]And I know you feel our pain
[02:41.21]
[02:44.31]And I know it would not hurt any less
[02:48.92]
[02:50.35]Even if it could be explained
[02:54.56]
[02:57.15]And I know that I am only lashing out
[03:02.45]
[03:03.82]At the One who loves we most
[03:08.11]
[03:10.95]And after I figured this somehow
[03:15.85]
[03:17.26]Would I really need to know
[03:22.16]Is if You who live in eternity
[03:25.83]Hear the prayers of
[03:27.62]those of us who live in time
[03:31.52]
[03:32.62]We can't see what's ahead
[03:35.42]And we can not get free of what we've left behind
[03:41.31]
[03:42.64]I'm reeling from these voices
[03:45.58]that keep screaming in my ears
[03:48.61]
[03:49.34]All the words of shame
[03:50.97]and doubt blame and regret
[03:54.71]
[03:55.74]I can't see how You're leading me
[03:59.41]unless You've led me here
[04:02.41]Do where I'm lost enough to let myself be led
[04:08.65]
[04:09.71]And so You've been here all along I guess
[04:14.58]
[04:15.89]It's just Your ways and
[04:17.34]You are just plain hard to get
