Tim Be Told - Lament lyrics

You say You are jealous You say You are kind But the 'jealous part' seems to win all the time If You're so mighty, why do you break The weak and the weary, and see what they make You say You're forgiving That You'll not forsake But You punched me out when I made a mistake I try to find beauty in the mess that You made But You just stayed angry and never forgave Yes, I know You are great But is a bad God better than none? How much more will it take to undo the damage that You have done? 'Cause the wicked and wayward continue to thrive And the martyrs continue giving their lives Oh, the faithful never never survive Oh, the faithful never never survive You're the almighty, so I am afraid You crushed me to pieces, then stole what I made If hopeless delusion is a righteous man's fate I don't know how much more I can take Yes, I know You are great But is a bad God better than none? How much more will it take to undo the damage that You have done? 'Cause the wicked and wayward continue to thrive And the martyrs continue giving their lives Oh, the faithful never never survive Oh, the faithful never never survive God are You listening? Please hear my cry I don't really believe You're more cruel than You're kind But I'm getting tired of repeating this line That the faithful never survive Yes, I know You are great That You're a good God, and You are love How much more will it take to undo the damage that I have done? Please conquer these demons and the darkness inside Shine Your light on this cold heart of mine Maybe my faith will survive Maybe my faith will survive Maybe my faith will survive You are love, You are love (acoustic version only)
