Jehovah Shammah Lyrics

Life I need a way out

Christ come take the pain out

Please I know I'm needin' God

He can make the bleeding stop

You said you wouldn't put on me what I couldn't bear

I'm calling on Your name because I know You'll be there

Life I need a way out

Christ come take the pain out

Please I know I'm needin' God

He can make the bleeding stop

You said you wouldn't put on me what I couldn't bear

Jehovah Shammah help me get over this drama

A lot of struggles I had to juggle to stay above the minimum

Didn't let em get to me booted em just like a Pentium

Rough child life, grew up way too fast

Almost had to make the choice between my mom and my dad

Divorce my own rendition of Family Portrait

Family's distorted what happened family's important

At least I thought it to be my family fought constantly

The toughest thing I thought it started with me

I was a step farther than my brother and sister

I didn't want a step father begged my mother to listen

It was a split decision not decision to split

I tried to fix division too late incision was slit

Intention was missed I had no intentions of this

I wish it was diff like gifts on the Christmas list

But this is the end we packed back to livin' wit kin

You shoulda thought about this deeper

For you dished out yo kid I'm singin'

Life I need a way out

Christ come take the pain out

Please I know I'm needin' God

He can make the bleeding stop

You said you wouldn't put on me what I couldn't bear

I'm calling on Your name because I know You'll be there

Life I need a way out

Christ come take the pain out

Please I know I'm needin' God

He can make the bleeding stop

You said you wouldn't put on me what I couldn't bear

Jehovah Shammah help me get over this drama

Unpacked unraveled we traveled to reach our destination

3000 Miles we strangers like foreigners on spaceships

With what we had in suitcases great grams was gracious

To let us stay with til we could cop our own places

That was my placement after 6th grade graduation

We left the state of Ohio moms makin' a statement

A better outlook like chicks gettin' a facelift

"Face it" so we got in the Greyhound and started pacin'

I wanted popularity from every Tom Dick and Harry

But vulgarity entered clouded my clarity the parody

"Get in where you fit in" never shared with me

All of the pressin' made me less than I was prepared to be

Tried to be the man that the chicks would admire (that was vanity)

And plan to be the guy businesses hire (plus keep my sanity)

God had a better share for me He showed me charity

Verily no comparin' the Christ unto the cares of this LIFE

Life I need a way out

Christ come take the pain out

Please I know I'm needin' God

He can make the bleeding stop

You said you wouldn't put on me what I couldn't bear

I'm calling on Your name because I know You'll be there

Life I need a way out

Christ come take the pain out

Please I know I'm needin' God

He can make the bleeding stop

You said you wouldn't put on me what I couldn't bear

Jehovah Shammah help me get over this drama

When I didn't have a car when dad was behind bars

Playin' wit the white kids gave me scars

While the rich ate Lucky Charms

We had our Corn Flakes and made believe our cereal they had stars

I was in my Egypt non-equipped to fight the demons

And screamin' desperately for someone to bring me freedom

Then Jesus He pulled me out of slavery

So as the Bride of Christ He's the Supa I'm the Mrs. Avery

Created me knows life's trials before they wave at me

Keeps my faith in shape so I don't go on wavering

Firm on the rock like Wavorly

Cuz I know He'll be there in what I go through

So when I go through I'll always go through

He's my go-to like A.I

Jehovah Shammah I'ma serve You with honor

My armor my Abba my Father

You gave me life and all it's substance

Christ and His abundance

So I can give You me and what it comes with

Life I need a way out

Christ come take the pain out

Please I know I'm needin' God

He can make the bleeding stop

You said you wouldn't put on me what I couldn't bear

I'm calling on Your name because I know You'll be there

Life I need a way out

Christ come take the pain out

Please I know I'm needin' God

He can make the bleeding stop

You said you wouldn't put on me what I couldn't bear

Jehovah Shammah help me get over this drama
