Title:
Reaching (feat. Skrip)
Lyrics:
Shattered pieces of my heart like stories left untold
Sit awhile with me and share the work before You go
?cause I?ve been hurting far too long for someone not to know
I feel alone
I feel alone
Wondering and searching through the corners of my mind
Broken dreams and past regret are all that I could find
How I wish that I could go somehow back in time
Press rewind
Press rewind
I can?t seem to let this go
I am reaching out for You
I am reaching out for You
I can?t do this on my own
I can?t do this on my own
Troubles quake beneath my feet to turn me upside down
(Turn me upside down)
Shadows loom and darkness falls, they pin me to the ground
(Pin me to the ground)
Now I fight to make my way, pushing through the crowd
Pull me out
Pull me out
I am reaching out for You
(Only for You)
I am reaching out for You
(Only for You)
I can?t do this on my own
(I never wanna be left alone)
I can?t do this on my own
So I know I?m never alone ?cause You?re right there
Even with my eyes closed, swingin? while I fight scared
Feelin? alone, weak at the knees
I remember at your name that we free from disease
We beat it with ease
Even at my lowest, yeah you reign the highest
Even when I?m feelin? wicked, You call me righteous
Through the tragedies and the triumphant entries
Reaching out in faith, I know You?ll never leave me empty
I am reaching out for You
(Only for You)
I am reaching out for You
(Only for You)
I can?t do this on my own
(I never wanna be left alone)
I can?t do this on my own
I can?t do this on my own
