Feelings
I found myself in a place of sorrow
I found myself in a place of grief
And at first I didn't have a language for it
All I knew something was off
And I couldn't trace it back to any misstep I took
I couldn't trace it back to anything that I have done
That was like a consequence I was just, my emotions
were just
I had feelings, I was feeling a lot
Um, whether it was pandemics
Something I never even knew could happen
Or whether it was relational stuff that was just not working out
Friends just not ending, friendships not ending well
Or it was just my own personal brokenness
Internal, inner battle
I just had feelings, still have feelings
And what I realize is that
There is a place in feelings where you can honor the Lord
Where I can have these feelings
And He is not in heaven like, "Hey, Get out of there"
"Get out of those feelings, don't feel that"
He is not rushing me to get to a place that I am not
But He is not just in heaven but
He is sitting with me in it
In my tears, in my confusion, in my frustration, in my questions
He is sitting here, present with me and
I have realized and I have learned something about Him
In my feelings that I may have not learned in the Spirit, per se I have learned something about Him being the God of my emotions
The one who created me
And I may not have learned, had I not been in this place
I've learned how to suffer with Him
I think a lot of times
Before in my life, I've slipped into depression easier
And slipped into a worldly grief easier
Because I've tried to suffer without Him
But I've learned how to suffer with Him
Through this process I haven't been able to pray like I used to
I've learned how to suffer with Him
In fellowship join Him in the fellowship of his suffering
And that's what this album is, that's what these songs are
My process of lament
My process of suffering with Him
Being able to feel my feelings but not lean on them
Father I thank you for allowing me to have feelings
where are you
I’m discouraged
Who can save me from this pain?
I am hurting
I have nothing left to give
My soul cries out
Where are you now?
In my hour of greatest need
You’ve gone missing
I’m screaming out, a silent shout
I don’t know where else to turn
Are you listening?
Are you listening? Are you listening?
‘Cause I am tired
There’s a strength I used to know
Can’t pray like I used to ‘cause I am weary
Nothing’s changing
You can stop the show
My soul’s cries out
Where are you now?
In my hour of greatest need
You’ve gone missing
I’m screaming out, a silent shout
I don’t know where else to turn
Are you listening?
Are you listening?
Do you even hear me?
I’m sitting in my pain
Sitting in my stress
Are you listening?
I need to know
‘Cause I feel alone
I’m sitting in my tears
You’re sitting right here
It feels good just to know
You still hold me close
I’m sitting in my tears
You’re sitting right here
It feels good just to know
You still hold me close
I’m sitting in my tears
And you’re sitting right here
It feels good just to know
You still hold me close
I’m sitting in my tears, don’t know what to say
But you’re sitting right here
It feels good just to know
You still hold me close
You still hold me close
No-no-no, you still hold me close, ooh
You still hold me close
I’m sitting in my tears
And you’re sitting right here
It feels good just to know Father holds me close
Father holds me close
And I don’t have the words to say
You still hold me close
My soul’s cries out Where are you now?
In my hour when I needed you most
Seems like you went missing
I’m screaming out
It’s a silent shout
I don’t know where else to turn
Are you listening?
it’s okay
I won’t pretend
I’ll say what I’m feeling
I’m overwhelmed
Emotions are raging
It’s okay
To not be okay
I won’t try to hide
Love leaves room for me to say
I’m not okay
To every fear, every lie
I know love leaves room for me
You leave room for me, oh
You leave room for me
My flesh is weak, yes it is
My heart, it is aching
So please Lord my God, oh Never forsake me
It’s okay
To not be okay
I won’t try to hide
Love leaves room for me to say
That I’m not okay
To every fear, every lie
I know love leaves room for me to cry
I’ma let it out
Ain’t no shame in letting go, oh
I’ma let it go now
And I’m gonna scream
I’ma make it loud, yeah
Ain’t no shame in letting go
So I’ma let it go now
And I’m gonna cry
And I’ma let it out
Ain’t no shame in letting go
So I’ma let it go now
And I’m gonna scream
I’ma make it loud
Ain’t no shame in letting go
So I’ma let it go now
Let it go now
Oh

To not be okay
You don’t have to hide
‘Cause love leaves room for you to say
That you’re not okay
To every fear, every lie

There’s no battle
That I’m not built for I’m flesh and blood
But that’s not my war
Mountain moments or valley seasons
Come whatever
Greater lives within
And I was built for this
From the start it was finished
In this world I don’t fit
But in your arms I was made for this
So I’ve survived worse than this Oh, I was made in your image I was built for this
Disappointment
Is meant for your glory
Old times teach you
More than the hike
There’s a lesson in what you suffer
Oh my child, hold on longer
And you’ll see
You were built for this
From the start you were finished
In this world you don’t fit
But in his arms you were made for this
I survived much more than this
You’re made in his image
You were built for this
You won’t tear me down
No you won’t, no, aah
You won’t tear me down
No you won’t, no
‘Cause I won’t let you
You won’t tear me down
No you won’t, no
I’m stronger than that, I’m stronger, I’m stronger
You won’t tear me down
No you won’t, no
‘Cause I won’t let you
You won’t tear me down
You won’t tear me down
No you won’t tear me down, no
You won’t tear me down
No you won’t, no
‘Cause I won’t let you
You won’t tear me down
No you won’t, no
I’m stronger than this, I’m bet-
ter than this, oh
You won’t tear me down
No you won’t, no
‘Cause now I see I was built for this
From the start it was finished
In this world I don’t fit
But in your arms I was made for this
I’ve survived worse than this
Oh, my God I was made in your image I was built for this
not consumed
Trouble comes from every side
But we are not consumed
Weeping may endure the night
But we are not consumed
Great is your faithfulness
All my days I’ve seen no less
Worry tries to take our minds
But we are not consumed
Hate is dark but love is light
And He is not consumed
Great is your faithfulness
All my days I’ve seen no less
And I see You in the wilderness and in green fields
I see You with the broken heart and when I’m healed
I see You, in miracles and when You stay still
Felt buried by the cares of life
But we are not consumed
No, we are not consumed
Knocked down and crushed but not destroyed
We are not consumed
You broke the curse, it’s null and void
We are not consumed
Great is Your faithfulness
All my days I’ve seen no less
I see You in the wilderness and in green fields
I see You with the broken heart and when I’m healed
I see You, in miracles and when
You stay still
Felt buried by the cares of life
But we are not consumed
We are not consumed
There are mercies
Every morning
It overwhelms the overwhelming
And we will open up our hearts
We will hope in who You are
There are mercies every morning
It overwhelms the overwhelming
And we will open up our hearts
We will hope in who You are
We will open up our hearts
We will hope in who You are
I see You in the wilderness and in green fields
I see You with the broken heart and when I’m healed
I see You, in miracles and when You stay still
Felt buried by the cares of this life
But I am not consumed
No, we are not consumed

Feel some type o’ way
I’m trying to escape the shallow I wanna medicate
But nothing that I take
Seems like it’s working
My back’s against the ropes
Even though I try to keep an open mind
I can’t do this on my own

Been trying to talk to You
But nothing that I say
Seems like it’s working
My back’s against the ropes
Even though I try to keep an open mind
I can’t do this on my own
When I’m weak, You’re strong
