"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
