Various Artists - Broken Praise (Job) lyrics

[Verse 1] If one more person takes my hand and tries to say they understand Tells me there's a bigger plan that I'm not meant to see If one more person dares suggest that I held something unconfessed Tries to make the dots connect from righteousness to easy street Well I, I won't deny I've relied on some a**umptions A man's honest life entitles him to something [Chorus] But who am I to make demands of the God of Abraham? And who are You that You would choose to answer me with mercy new How many more will wander past to find me here among the ashes Will you hold me? Will you stay? So I can raise this broken praise to You [Verse 2] Who else will see my suffering as one more opportunity To educate; to help me see all my flawed theology If one more well intentioned friend tries to tie up my loose ends Hoping to, with rug and broom, sweep awkward moments from the room But I, I can't forget, I have begged just like a madman For my chance to die and never have to face the morning [Chorus] [Bridge] But You were the One who filled my cup And You were the One who let it spill So blessed be your Holy name if you never fill it up again If this is where my story ends, just give me one more breathe to say Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah
