Not Alright! Lyrics

Things just ain't going like they should

I've been feeling a lot more bad than good

Somewhere between here and a broken heart

I think I forgot where to start

So with my hands held to the sky

"Hey God, is it really gonna be alright?"

I know I'm supposed to have more faith

But that's hard to come by these days

Patient with my frustrations

Your voice calls through the whirlwind that I face

You cut through the silence

And still You hold me close when I'm crying

I don't need to understand before I know

I guess I don't have to have the answers before I just let go

I'll just keep on holding tight and trust that You're still by my side

And it'll be alright even when it's not alright

Right now I'm not alright

So I head back in the house

And I feel a little different about this now

Next time my troubles start to swing

I'll get to fighting on my knees

And I know that I don't know that much

So I don't know why I'm the one I trust

I can barely hold my emotions

But Your hands hold the oceans

Patient with my frustrations

Your voice calls through the whirlwind that I face

You cut through the silence

And still You hold me close when I'm crying

I don't need to understand before I know

I guess I don't have to have the answers before I just let go

I'll just keep on holding tight and trust that You're still by my side

And it'll be alright even when it's not alright

Right now I'm not alright

Who am I to know all Your reasons?

Who am I to demand You tell me why?

Who am I to think I have it all under my own control?

Who am I to hold on tight when I know I should let go?

I don't need to understand before I know

I guess I don't have to have the answers before I just let go

I'll just keep on holding tight and trust that You're still by my side

And it'll be alright even when it's not alright

Right now I'm not alright
