Lyrics Jars of Clay

Jars of Clay

He

Don't try to reach me, I'm already dead

The pain when it grips me, for things that I've done

Well, I try to make you proud

But for crying out loud

Just give me a chance to hide away

Exhaustion takes over, will this someday be over?

Fearful tears are running down

The pain you've laid, don't speak a sound

Don't take my heart away from me

And they think I fell down, again

Daddy, don't you love me

Then why do you hit me

And Momma don't you love me

Then why do you hurt me

Well, I try to make you proud

But for crying out loud

Just give me a chance to hide away

Exhaustion takes over, will this someday be over?

Fearful tears are running down

The pain you've laid, don't speak a sound

Don't take my heart away from me

And they think I fell down

A teardrop falls from up in the heavens

Drowning the sorrow of angels in high

For the least of the helpless, the hopeless, the loveless

Your Jesus, His children, He holds in His eyes

He loves you, He sees you, He knows you,

Protects you, He needs you, He holds you...
