Nathaniel Terrell - Seeing the good through the bad and ugly lyrics

Seeing The Good Through The Bad And Ugly I feel like there is a tightening noose around my neck that bares the weight of a ma**ive millstone I take in my surrounding in this strange land and I look upon the faces of all the beautiful people Here I don't feel like an unwelcome foreigner, I feel more like an alien My intentions are pure and they come from a good heart Still they are offensive and misunderstood What am I doing? I don't recognize the man I have become, even with the many positive changes I have made, frustration still burns like an inferno Although the pain has lessened, anger still resonates within Chaos I know, agony I am kin to, failure torments me Yet, I am full of pa**ion, fire and love I have been a rebel for as long as I can remember, my tactics and motives may have changed But the civil war raging inside will never die The more I live the more I see that everything that I am working so hard to obtain And all that I am praying for can be snatched from me in the twinkling of an eye And once I meet my demise all that I have ama**ed will stay in this realm and most likely be squandered by undeserving fools This spiritual warfare that I cannot escape is grueling. Jesus said “if any man thirst let him come to me and drink” Well father I am dehydrated, right now I am deeply discouraged Since the path I walk is a solitary one, I must encourage myself I am confident in my abilities; my faith is secure as I ignore the strong voice of doubt Yes the adversary is throwing many fiery arrows but I know that no weapon formed shall prosper Father I will praise your name in all things and your grace is sufficient I know beyond a shadow of doubt that I am called according to your purpose I do not understand your plan for me and what I'm going through hurts like hell But I give you thanks, all praise and the honor Because I know that somehow some way it is all going to work out for my good For everything there is a season and I know that eventually my change will come Courage resides in my heart; the anointing is in my spirit and I have received power through you And through you oh lord I will conquer strongholds of the adversary I will bless those that will accept it And I will strengthen my brothers and protect my sisters For the path of my destiny leads to greatness but I must walk through the bad and the ugly
