Lament

You say You are jealous
 You say You are kind
 But the 'jealous part' seems to win all the time
 If You're so mighty, why do you break
 The weak and the weary, and see what they make
 You say You're forgiving
 That You'll not forsake
 But You punched me out when I made a mistake
 I try to find beauty in the mess that You made
 But You just stayed angry and never forgave
 Yes, I know You are great
 But is a bad God better than none?
 How much more will it take to undo the damage that You have done?
 'Cause the wicked and wayward continue to thrive
 And the martyrs continue giving their lives
 Oh, the faithful never never survive
 Oh, the faithful never never survive
 You're the almighty, so I am afraid
 You crushed me to pieces, then stole what I made
 If hopeless delusion is a righteous man's fate
 I don't know how much more I can take
 Yes, I know You are great
 But is a bad God better than none?
 How much more will it take to undo the damage that You have done?
 'Cause the wicked and wayward continue to thrive
 And the martyrs continue giving their lives
 Oh, the faithful never never survive
 Oh, the faithful never never survive
 God are You listening?
 Please hear my cry
 I don't really believe You're more cruel than You're kind
 But I'm getting tired of repeating this line
 That the faithful never survive
 Yes, I know You are great
 That You're a good God, and You are love
 How much more will it take to undo the damage that I have done?
 Please conquer these demons and the darkness inside
 Shine Your light on this cold heart of mine
 Maybe my faith will survive
 Maybe my faith will survive
 Maybe my faith will survive
 You are love, You are love (acoustic version only)
