Name: Waste Your Time
Duration: P00H04M17S
Description: The fog was only beginning to disperse as I drove by the prairie in Illinois. I began to pray. As I did, I became distinctly aware of the limitations of my words. I saw how I naturally tended to lie, even to God, simply because of the sinful command I had over my speech. I fell silent. It was in this silence where I found my heart truly worshiping.

about

The fog was only beginning to disperse as I drove by the prairie in Illinois. I began to pray. As I did, I became distinctly aware of the limitations of my words. I saw how I naturally tended to lie, even to God, simply because of the sinful command I had over my speech. I fell silent. It was in this silence where I found my heart truly worshiping.

lyrics

I’m finding it hard
To bring the words to light
When everything’s dark
And my spirit’s poised to fight

When I’m ashamed of every thought
that crosses my mind
And I’m aware of every stain
That I leave behind

I have no right to waste Your time
With all I’m afraid to say
So shine a light on all my crimes
Cause I’m all I can offer today

When the well of my soul
Brings forth bitter waters
May your eyes overflow
With tears of sweet redemption

And I’m a fool to think for second
That I’m alone
So I cry out to you with every breath
And every bone

I’ve always known
All this confusion is for a moment
I’ll never understand
How you see it all with a knowing smile
