lyrics

Before you God by Andy Squyres

Conceived in anger, born into a rage
Raised by wolves who fed me on the injustice of the age
My mother left me outside a stranger’s door
She heard a howling wind and could not refuse it anymore

Before you God I am opening my heart
I know you did not expect me, I’m a thief in the night
Before you God I will leave the ninety-nine
To find you in the darkness, I will not leave you behind

I’ve spent so much, wondering where you are
Hammers in my head heavy as a dying star
My daughters carry the same fears that I do
My son loses sleep every night looking for you

Before you God I am opening my heart
I know you did not expect me, I’m a thief in the night
Before you God I will leave the ninety-nine
To find you in the darkness, I will not leave you behind

I am a temple with a fallen spire
Your absence burns me like a lake of fire
Cure for my fear of cancer is dripping down my throat
I still believe in miracles God, even when you don’t

Before you God I will sing the exiles song
I will bandage up your bruises by the shores of Babylon
Before you God I am calling out your name
Like a ghost upon the water I am coming back again
