Courts of The King Lyrics

I'm angry and ashamed for being here

I can't grasp Your goodness

When I just grip fear

And it's hard to understand my own worth when I live in this place

Hold my brain in my hands like a broken toy

Gave too much

And too little

And I just can't enjoy

All Your glory before my two eyes

Let alone sit and pray

I know that You're listening

Lord I know You're listening

My dreams Your Words were glistening

And I still feel You

I feel You

You're still glistening

Lord I know You're there for me

Though I drowned You out on my seven seas

I'm just a wayward stray

The bad guy

The hunter

The prey

Lord I know You care for me

Would You hear the words of this barren tree

I submit all my days to Your throne

In Your Name Lord I pray

I've got a mind that's a minefield

Explosives are soon set to fly

But I'll crawl to the courts of The King

Til the day that I die

Used to haunt this town

Like a living ghost

The days they'd bleed me out

When what I wanted most

Was discernment that cut like a knife

And a life to the brim

I've got hopes in my midst

That I dare to break

My ideas have run dry

But I'm wide awake

Reach my hands out for peace and real joy

But You place them within

I know that You're listening

But Lord I've been out wandering

It wasn't just a childhood thing

Cause I still feel You

I feel You

You're still listening

Lord I know You're there for me

Though I drowned You out on my seven seas

I'm just a wayward stray

The bad guy

The hunter the prey

Lord I know You care for me

Would You hear the words of this barren tree

I submit all my ways to Your throne

In Your Name Lord I pray

Got a heart like an anchor

That's sturdy and bound to the sky

And I'll crawl to the courts of The King

Til the day that I die

Oh

I waste attention and time

With so much to protect

I disrespected the One

With mistaken neglect

I'm too much for this world

But it's too much for me

I held fast to a life

Then held fast to the fall

I lost sight of the Hand

That grants me life at all

Now I'm frozen in place

Shattered but in one piece

My apathy is disrespect

For all You've done and still protect

It's a wall between wisdom and flesh

In this mad this mad disarray

Lord I know You're there for me

I can feel You here in the rescuing

Lift this wayward stray

Lift this bad guy

This hunter this prey

Lord I know You care for me

Watch these flowers bloom on this barren tree

Cause You say that there's still hope for me today

Got a heart like an anchor

That's sturdy and bound to the sky

And I'll crawl to the courts of The King til the day that I die

Yes I'll crawl to Your courts oh my King

Til the day that I die
