Even When

This week, I prayed, one time

My phone, it rang, I put You on the other line

And now my thoughts they drift around

My knees remain unacquainted with the ground

Unless my faith is put to the test and I am forced to bow

Although I'm in this flesh it doesn't mean You shouldn't have the best

from me, from me

[Chorus:]

Even when my eyes are dry

even when my soul is tired

even when my hands are heavy, I will lift them up to Yu

It's not about how I feel, oh Lord I am here for Yu

I exist for you

I close my eyes but all I see

Is a background of black, bouncy squiggly lines

And this week's mistakes coming back to mind but

I will lift my voice and make a joyful sound

Forget about me, I only get me down

Although I cannot see it doesn't mean I shouldn't sing to You, to You

[Chorus]

You've given me Your life and have held mine together yet I find

Excuses to slouch in my pew

But when glory divine

Is sitting in my very presence, the least that I can do

Is give my all to You, give my all to You

[Chorus]
