Praise Him Still

I am alive, but I'm not living,
I speak, but not in words

I'm awake, but my mind is still sleeping,
I walk, but never go anywhere

I love, but it's a love so imperfect,
I eat, but still I hunger

PRE CHORUS:
Are you here, in my brokenness?
Have I overstepped the bounds of your love?

Is there a sin so evil you'll shun me?
Or a blemish your grace cannot heal?


CHORUS:
Now that you're near,
Your grace surrounds me, and I know that I'll never be alone

Your comfort crushes my fears,
Takes away my worry, and I never want to leave this place

TAG:
You, Lord, my King, my creator,
Your love, there is none greater

I will worship you with all of me,
Pour out my love for all eternity

CHORUS 2x

Author notes

Hmmm, a song I wrote a couple weeks ago... I stuffed it away, until I read it again and thought I'd post it. Funny thing, how something sounds better, the longer you leave it alone, huh? This is another one of my attempts at a worship song, by the way. Please let me know how I can make it better. Thanks for reading ya'll.

    Woa, hey Stirling! Long time no see (well, I have never really seen you, so I guess it has been a LONG time, eh?). Why do I owest the pleasure of thy critique? (Shakespeare, oy) Oh, right. No I don't have music to it, if you come up with anything let me know. I've been trying to come up with a tune, and so far I have E and A/Asus/A2 for the verse (i can't decide which A sounds better). I hear you were in town last week, I wish I could've come... That would've been a lot of fun.

    Hi Emily! Thank you, although I'm very, VERY far from being a pro (i laugh at the word). Yeah, I'd say it's pretty oxymoronical. I don't know what I was doing there... Well, thank you for reading it. How are you doing these days?
