When I pray

Your voice kept whispering to me:
“Come rest, my child, let me be near
There’s been a lot on your mind for such a long time
Now pour out your heart, and say how you feel”

Pre-chorus:
“Are you happy? Are you joyful?
Or are you scared or disappointed?
Oh, how I long to know what’s deep in your soul”

Chorus:
And You call
And You wait
You want me to seek Your Holy face
But I hide
I deny
Run astray in search of a different way
Though I know, that the way to get hold of Your heart
The only way
Is only when I pray



Life is too hard, You understand
There’s always something to come first instead

Pre-chorus:
All the worries, all the trials, burdens, pain and all the trouble
You need to fight your way till the end of the day

Chorus:
And You call
And You wait
You want me to seek Your Holy face
But I hide
I deny
Run astray in search of a different way
Though I know, that the way to get hold of Your heart
The only way
Is only when I pray

Special:
I hear a cry of disappointment
A cry so bitter, so despondent
Who’s that betrayed and stripped of glory?
Isn’t that the Lord of Lords?
Isn’t that the Lord of Lords?
