10. Out of the River

Covenant
by Psalm

       
Lyrics:

HOOK
Oh brothers let’s go down
Let’s go down come on down
Oh brothers let’s go down
Down to the river to pray
Good ole’ way

VERSE 1
I pray you forgive me for all of my doubts God when
My heart is encumbered and I’m slipping under my spirit so down trodden
So father remind me of simpler times when I knew that you’d guide me through every storm
Cause lately it’s hazy that day that you saved me has turned to a maybe I’m simply not sure
Were you even there at all
Did you really hear that call
Cause I - I remember that fall
Feeling like my back was up against that wall
And I - I hit my knees and I stayed there for over 4 weeks
Back in those days every time I would pray I could swear I hear my Lord speak
And I gave my life up, gave a lot of pain and strife up
And it really felt good and I felt like i could cause I knew where I gained my light from
But these days it’s so hard
And these days it’s so dark
And these days I pray and pray and pray but still feel no spark
No heart so far

HOOK

VERSE 2
So father please come back
Please father just come back
Give me an answer give me an answer
Remind me where is that love at
I went to the river
I went underwater
I came up again and I raised up my hands
Forgiven delivered from slaughter
And destruction and dysfunction
And that terrible rut I was stuck in
And thank God I was changed my family was saved
Was living in grace and was loving it
But I’m in that rut again
Still seeking you through all this suffering
I pray it gets better but nothing ends
The mud has been once again shoveled in
So tighten my belt and I suck it in
But the troubles been that I’m buckling
I need a revival, so read through my Bible
Been checking the skies for vital signs of life
God where did the time go, my sights gone
And Christ knows I’m so light low

VERSE 3
When it felt so real
And it felt so right
When you felt so near me God
When I felt your light
Now it’s all routine
Religion by ritual
But it don’t feel free
And it doesn’t feel spiritual
And somedays I just think I’m really in need of a place where I can pray alone
My patience gone my faith has grown so cold God who I’m waiting on
I’m falling apart just waiting for good news, so if you
Are the God that I say that you are just open your heart and God you could glue
The pieces together believe that you never would leave us and sever the peace of forever
And ever and ever and ever and ever, you never gone leave us you really mean never
Too much adversity’s hurting me certainly
Praying so fervently come do your work in me
Lately the earth has been doing it’s worst to me
Pardon the urgency have you deserted me
I’m pretty sure I need spiritual surgery

HOOK
