God can u hear me

Lyrics

“GOD, CAN YOU HEAR ME?” Sad melodic pain song • Slow acoustic guitar only • 68 BPM • Emotional vocals with high notes and voice cracks Intro — soft fingerpicked guitar, vocals almost breaking Yeahhh, oh-oh-oh… Lord, I been calling, I been calling… Tell me, do You hear me when I cry? ‘Cause I been talking to the ceiling every night… And I swear I’m starting to feel like You passed me by… Verse 1 I got tears on my Bible, I been sleeping with pain, Been asking You for sunshine, still get caught in the rain, I done bent down on my knees till I couldn’t feel my legs, But the only thing You sent me was another day of dread. I see everybody winning, tell me, what am I doing wrong? I been trying to stay faithful, but this road been way too long, Got a thousand unanswered questions, got a heart that’s barely strong, And I’m scared that if I stop believing, I won’t have nothing to hold on. I done cried inside my bedroom till my pillow turned to stone, Funny how you can be surrounded but still feel like you alone, I keep asking You to heal me, but this hurt just keeps on growing, Is Heaven really listening, or am I praying to the ceiling? Pre-Chorus — voice rising I don't wanna doubt You, Lord, but tell me what am I supposed to do? When I give You all my broken pieces, why I'm still bleeding through? I been waiting on a breakthrough, I got nothing left to prove, If You hear me when I'm whispering, why can't I hear from You? Chorus — emotional singing, guitar strumming harder God, are You ignoring all my cries? Can You see the tears that I can't hide? I've been begging You to save me, But I'm drowning in this pain tonight. I keep looking at the heavens, asking why, How much hurt can one soul hold inside? I don't need You to make me rich, I just need a reason not to break down and cry. Ohhh, Lord, I'm tired… I'm so tired of fighting battles in my mind, I still believe in You, but I'm losing hope sometimes… God, if You can hear me, send me just one sign. Verse 2 — intimate, conversational melody Mama told me keep on praying when the world don't treat you right, But she never told me what to do when God feels out of sight, When your faith is all you got, but even faith can't stop the night, When you're fighting with your demons and you're losing every fight. I got scars that ain't visible, they run deeper than my skin, I keep telling folks I'm good when I'm falling apart within, I been asking for forgiveness for the person I have been, But sometimes I feel so far gone, don't know where to start again. And I know You ain't a genie, I can't tell You what to do, But I'm just a broken man, Lord, I don't know what else to lose, I've been talking like You're listening, hoping somehow I'll get through, 'Cause the world already abandoned me, don't let me lose You too. I ain't asking for a perfect life, just take away this ache, I've been smiling in their faces with a heart about to break, If the strongest ones get tested, Lord, how much more can I take? I'm afraid I'll lose myself before I see a better day. Bridge — guitar nearly stops, trembling vocals Maybe You're still working… Maybe I just can't see… Maybe all these closed doors Got a different key… But Lord, I'm only human… Sometimes I get weak… And the hardest part of having faith Is when I can't feel You near me… (Pause — whispered) Can You hear me now? I ain't asking You for answers to everything I've ever known… Just don't let me feel abandoned when I'm crying here alone… Final Chorus — powerful vocals, high notes, slight vocal cracks GOD, ARE YOU IGNORING ALL MY CRIES? I'M SO SICK OF SAYING I'M ALRIGHT! I've been fighting back these tears so long, I don't even know how to cry sometimes! I keep looking at the heavens, asking why, I got so much hurt I can't describe, If You hear me, Lord, I'm begging, Put a little bit of peace inside my life! Ohhh, Lord, I'm tired! Can You hold me while I'm breaking down tonight? I'm still reaching for Your hand Even when I can't see the light… I'M STILL PRAYING, THOUGH I'M HURTING! STILL BELIEVING, THOUGH I'M BLIND! God, I don't need You to explain it… I just need to know You're by my side! Outro — soft guitar, voice cracking into a whisper Lord… If You hear this, I'm sorry for the times I questioned You… I'm just tired of being strong when I don't know what else to do… Everybody says You answer… Maybe mine just takes more time… But God, I'm still here talking… Please don't let my faith die… (One final guitar chord rings out and fades.)
