lyrics

Dad Up Above

Dad up above
There's a mess in the mirror
That I can't fix
I need You here
Push comes to shove,
I seek prayer or thought
But I miss You here
I miss you here

All of my life
Seems a rushing train, passing subway
I try to catch a handle on
My thoughts, my plans, and better things
I don't rest in Your love
I need Your love

Sit with me a while
Let's chat, stop and smile
It's been too long
Far too long
Hold me tight and still
I get lost in my will
Let Your kingdom come
Right here in us

All these fretted hopes, frustrated dreams
My fruits from never listening
Put me back on track
I can write a poem
I think I'm clever think I'm spriitual
I can save the world, think I'm good
Mercy mercy, mess of me, for that blasphemy
I'm lost again
Again

Dad up above
The strings of all the violin dreams
Choking me have brought me to my knees
I don't know how
To conjure You or see
I know You're right behind the scenes

Come out, inside with me (3x)
