Alex Isaak - The Way Out lyrics

[Alex Isaak - Chorus:] Oh, Lord! Why don't You show me the way out! Show me the way out! (x2) [Josiah Williams - Verse 1:] Let's talk about this lifestyle that I'm 'bout! And those wrong roads that I went down When I was down and out for that count All that I had were all of my doubts I put my faith in this world! What a bad choice Misguided Took a wrong step in that fire And that small flame -- it ignited I needed rest and resilience Love and hope over sadness Dip me down in that water and cover this ugly canvas Call that rest and resilience Can I get that word? Let me hear it I'm trying to nurture my body And feed my soul and my spirit (Oh God!) I would only say that name if God was helping me And now I'm saying it all the time God has set me free! Thinking I was gonna save the world on my own And hurting from trying "Jesus take the wheel" Truth is, I should have never been driving So let's ride out! Right now, and not wait! 'Cause, I could be out on my own But I wanna travel all over the states So that I can talk about God though My new rap! God flow And they be like: what's the way out? And I tell them who I follow [Alex Isaak - Chorus:] Oh, Lord! Why don't You show me the way out! Show me the way out! (x2) [Josiah Williams - Verse 2:] I've been let down, damaged Did things that I really can't manage I broke hearts, and I cried out My own face, I couldn't stand it I knuckled up with my enemy and I lost 'Cause I thought that I could just take him all on my own And that was my fault See, I was thinking: I was something invincible Fighting something that hates me And takes me to a place, no safety Where the good guys can't save me But I gotta put the metal to the pedal I can't sleep with the lies of the devil 'cause I might wake up cold and alone 'cause I lived my life like a rebel, man! But I found God! And that's all I need! I once was lost inside, yeah, but now I'm freed! 'cause I need someone there to slow my roll And that's why I've got God, hold me down and take control You can't take my heart! I got it filled with joy If that's what y'all about, then let me hear you make some noise! You can't take my heart! I got it filled with joy 'cause I know now with God there's nothing He can't destroy [Alex Isaak - Chorus:] Oh, Lord! Why don't You show me the way out! Show me the way out! (x2) [Reverend Deveraux Hubbard – Closing Prayer:] Father, I bow before you and just ask As your humble servant That You would please help You know my mistakes, You know my faults, You know my failures But, You know my heart's desire to please You I realize now, like never before, without You I can't make it So I surrender myself afresh Asking that You would lead and guide and direct That You would influence, that You would order my steps Show me the path that You would have for me to walk on That I might live a life that would cause You to smile So from this day forward, my commitment and my resolve Is to live for an audience of one I pray that You would be pleased Hear Your servant's prayer Amen
