someone's approaching to come ease your pain.

the great pain in your eyes is as sharp as a dagger
the hurt that you've seen is apparent to me
as i walk by in pride and i step with a swagger
in my pious glory that's for all to see.

but ought you believe that a strong god is good
when nothing he does seems to benefit you?
you've found nothing to prove to your wits that you should
nothing to show if that promise is true.

He has said He's gracious, that he feels every blow
that he loves each man, woman, and child the same.
but why SHOULD you believe Him, and how would you know,
if no one will address your great pain in his name?

you see, it's not His fault you don't feel His mercy
it's not up to Him to provide you with care
im not delivering! i'm His hands, i'm His feet-
He's always been with you. i'm the one who's not there.

i'm sorry, remorseful, endlessly ashamed
for the wretched and miserable job that i've done
spreading His comfort, spreading His name.
god knows you need it - you're His, you're the ONE--
the one that He treasures, the one that He loves,
the one that He fashioned within and without.
He's the care and the calm that you've been dreaming of
and your vindication is what He's about.
