This week, I prayed, one time
My phone, it rang, I put You on the other line
And now my thoughts they drift around
My knees remain unacquainted with the ground
Unless my faith is put to the test and I am forced to bow
Although I'm in this flesh it doesn't mean You shouldn't have the best
from me, from me
Even when my eyes are dry
even when my soul is tired
even when my hands are heavy,
I will lift them up to You
It's not about how I feel,
oh Lord I am here for You
I exist for you
I close my eyes but all I see
Is a background of black, bouncy squiggly lines
And this week's mistakes coming back to mind but
I will lift my voice and make a joyful sound
Forget about me, I only get me down
Although I cannot see it doesn't mean I shouldn't sing to You, to You
Even when my eyes are dry
even when my soul is tired
even when my hands are heavy,
I will lift them up to You
It's not about how I feel,
oh Lord I am here for You
I exist for you
You've given me Your life and have held mine together yet I find
Excuses to slouch in my pew
But when glory divineIs sitting in my very presence, the least that I can do
Is give my all to You, give my all to You
Even when my eyes are dry
even when my soul is tired
even when my hands are heavy,
I will lift them up to You
It's not about how I feel,
oh Lord I am here for You
I exist for you

Well if I come across a little bit distant
It's just because I am
Things just seem to feel a little bit different
You understand
Believe it or not but life is not apparently
About me anyways
But I have met the One who really is worthy
So let me say
So long self
Well it's been fun,
but I have found somebody else
So long self
There's just no room for two
So you are gonna have to move
So long self
Don't take this wrong but you are wrong for me farewell
Oh well, Goodbye, don't cry
So Long Self
(MercyMe)..............................
From sunrise to sunset help me not forget
all that you've done for me.
From sunset to sunrise help me keep my eyes
upon Your glory.
