Amen

I tend to juxtapose the Great I Am
 With the great that I'm not
 Like you're beholden to me or I deserve something
 More than what I've got
 But I'm having church in a parked car
 Reopening old scars
 Counting all the ways in which you got me this far, Lord
 And I shouldn't ask for more
 Yet here I am, amen in my throat
 This little light of mine is struggling to glow
 And I never meant to hide it, oh no
 But I sure did
 Since I was a kid, playing soldiers in the woods behind my house
 All the greed and hate and jealousy that left my little mouth
 I hoped for saving grace from outer space
 But never wondered how
 And I don't think I understood
 It's not a simple little prayer or a turning of the heart
 It's a constant cry for help because my world is in the dark
 Yet you care for me confusingly
 Forgive me and restart
 In my attempt at being good
 Yet here I am, amen in my throat
 This little light of mine is struggling to glow
 And I never meant to hide it, oh no
 But I sure did
 And here I am, amen in my throat
 This little light of mine is struggling to glow
 I'm gonna need your help to light it, oh no
 'Cause I've been drowning for too long
 I've been drowning for too long
 I've been drowning for too long
 Lord, here I am, amen in my throat
 This little light of mine is struggling to glow
 I'm gonna need your help to light it, oh no
 'Cause I've been drowning for too long
 And I can't do this on my own
 But I don't have to
