"New Elegies" lyrics
"New Elegies"
I lost all my elegant rambling
'Cause heaven knows something I don't
Turn around, turn around, Lord, can You hear me?
I'm on my knees, fighting alone
Maybe I need new elegies
To grieve what I can't escape
Awash and adrift in the human condition
Oh God, for a little more faith
It's colder out here than it was before
And calluses cover my hands
Crying out (Crying out), "Lord, can you hear me?"
I hate that I don't understand
Oh, I hate that I don't understand
So, maybe I need new elegies
And passionate old laments
I started allowing the pain of the doubting
To stand near the songs of ascent
And maybe I lost sincerity
For gilded and empty praise
If I start listing my self-stained petitions
Can I bear the risk in unanswered specifics?
Oh God, for a little more faith
Oh God, for a little more faith

When our days are through
And all we'll ever do is behind
In the evening
At our setting sun
When our work is done I'd like to say
That we did it all for love
For times worth dreaming...

Want them to know the Jesus that I know
If I'm the closest thing to a Bible that they read
Let the words they read be what you wrote

Ben Rector - "Praying For Me" Someone must have been praying for me
'Cause I'm doing better than I ought to be
Sometimes I open my eyes and I can't believe it
Yeah, someone must have been
Someone must have been praying for me...
