The Lyrics Thread

Is there anyone who's been there?
Are there any hands to raise?
Am I the only one who's traded
In the altar for a stage?
The performance is convincing
If we know every line by heart
Only when no one is watching
Can we really fall apart
 
But would it set me free?
If I dared to let you see
The truth behind the person you imagine me to be
Would your arms be open?
Or would you walk away
Would the love of Jesus
Be enough to make you stay?
 
Are we happy plastic people
Under shiny plastic steeples
With walls around our weakness
And smiles that hide our pain
But if the invitation's open
To every heart that has been broken
Maybe then we'll close the curtains
On our stained-glass masquerade
 
Yeah, I said You had me in Your arms, but I fell through the grasp
But yep, I had You in my heart, but I guess I relapsed
Like I'm livin' for the wrong reasons, through the seasons
Tryna fall for You, but then they put me on blast

It's like I try to speak my mind because I know that I'm His
And yep, I try to speak my mind, but it don't fly with them kids
Man, if I'm not talkin' 'bout the newest Nikes or releases
They put the mute on me, I can't speak about my Jesus?

Like I'm living for Him, I'm slippin' to sin
I turn around and make the amends, I try to fit it
I mess it up and stumble again, I'm takin' this pen
And writing everything, so I remember just how sweet that it is

Yeah, man, I got issues, I can't even lie
My only saving grace is knowing I got You inside
I'm done with saving face, I don't gotta thing to hide
So don't leave me alone, keep coming day and night

So don't leave me alone, keep coming day and night
Don't leave me, leave me alone
Bust down the door to my heart, Lord, it's Your home

You don't need no keys, I'm on my knees beggin' You please
I've gotta settle this thing once and for all
You got my heart, my soul, You can have it all

I'm on my knees beggin' You please, beggin' You please, Lord
I'm on my knees beggin' You please, beggin' You please, Lord
Don't leave me alone
 
I'm at the end of myself and I'm
Tired, I've tried all that I know to do
Right now it's just by a thread, but I'm
I'm hanging on to You
I'm running out of hope
I need a miracle
And if I ever needed You it's right now
 
I'm running out of hope
I need a miracle
And if I ever needed You it's right now
Oh, God, I'm desperate
I'm down on my knees
Send help from heaven
Cause that's what I need

Redeem this wreckage
Restore my peace
I'm not asking, I'm begging
Lord, come through for me
I need heaven and I'm desperate
