|
Right now I hear |
|
But I wanna see |
|
I need you to show me |
|
You bottle my tears |
|
Pain is the key |
|
To making me Holy |
|
Yeah |
|
Dark clouds in the sky turn into rain |
|
I know you wanna cry from the hurt and pain |
|
It's hard to see God in the eye of the hurricane |
|
And so you wanna turn away from this chapter in your life wanna turn the page |
|
It's the hard knock life and the earth's decaying |
|
Trying hard not to murmur and complain |
|
It's easier said than than done with those hunger pangs |
|
You can't even buy your son Burger King |
|
Just got laid off so currently |
|
Trying to make ends meet and that's a further strain |
|
I know you're stressed out gotta learn to pray |
|
So God can give you peace for the burdens laid |
|
Down at his feet where the servants lay |
|
He loves you, so don't turn away |
|
You in the fire, but won't burn in the flame |
|
Right now I hear |
|
But I wanna see |
|
I need you to show me |
|
You bottle my tears |
|
Pain is the key |
|
To making me Holy |
|
I know it's cold in the winter months |
|
And I know that that trial you in the middle of |
|
Man I know it might feel like a little much |
|
I know it might feel like a little much |
|
And though deliverance is slow like the little bus |
|
Don't faint stand firm no givin' up |
|
Understand that, God won't give you more than you can bear |
|
Your trials are just little cubs |
|
Big Him, big plan, man little us |
|
I know the season in your life is a little rough |
|
I know you're drinking up strife from the bitter cup |
|
God is painting a picture of |
|
Himself, so it's gotta be beautiful |
|
He's gotta use bright colors and muted tones |
|
Gotta use life's comforts and funerals |
|
I know it hurts, but it helps you to grow |
|
Right now I hear |
|
But I wanna see |
|
I need you to show me |
|
You bottle my tears |
|
Pain is the key |
|
To making me Holy |
|
[God is using pain in our lives |
|
Help us grow. Help us get older.] |
|
Yeah |
|
Praise God that the Father is forming us |
|
Shaping, making, and conforming us |
|
So at times our pain is to grow us up |
|
Other times my pain is for someone else |
|
Cause death in me is life in you |
|
That's what we see when He died for you |
|
'Cause one man's pain is another's pleasure |
|
Just as one man's trash is another's treasure |
|
'Cause sometimes God will cause the pain |
|
He'll create the fire and the rain |
|
I hear you praying Lord take it all away |
|
But if He won't it's because He knows what it takes |
|
To produce fruit and make his people whole |
|
He knows when pressure is applied to coal |
|
A beautiful diamond is the goal |
|
You're in the fire but you're coming out as pure gold |
|
Right now I hear |
|
But I wanna see |
|
I need you to show me |
|
You bottle my tears |
|
Pain is the key |
|
To making me Holy |
|
[See I think it's important for us to have a big picture perspective on pain. A lot of times, we see pain as a bad thing; trials, suffering, you see it as a bad thing. But when we look in the scriptures, we see that God prescribes pain. He doesn't just allow it he causes it sometimes; read deuteronomy chapter 8. But it's so necessary, because in it he conforms us into the image and the likeness of His Son. So I just wanna encourage the people of God, please understand that God is using your pain for His own glory.] |
