Man, It Feels Good

I now see that it’s never been about me.
All the times I complained, his plan for me has remained.
Of course I don’t deserve what I’ve been given, not with the life I’ve been living.
Hello Simone, it’s not about you. God has a much better reason for making you brand new.
Yes you will suffer and there’s no doubt you’ll cry;
But only so He can pick you up from the place in which you lie.
I can’t seem to understand why he always takes me back
With all the patience, love, and discipline I lack
I hate what when the mirror reflects a face of my own
No, I want it to show you and you alone
My eyes have been closed and my mind has grown tired
But I’m plugged back into you and now I’m wired
Now the smile on my face doesn’t fade so fast
And the time of lingering pain has passed
No matter how hard I push or how fast I run
The conquering you set out to do in my heart is done
As I’ve been told, “take control of the atmosphere”
Silence all the noise so you’re the only thing I hear
Until the end of my time I know hard times will look me in the eye
But these are the things I must go through just like the next guy
Hold my hand and remind me you’re worth all I’ve faced
Never let me forget that this love cannot be replaced

I never knew how good it'd feel to drown
this water that fills my lugs washes me clean
in love it abounds
my pain is gone from east to west.
i care nothing of my life for my Father knows what's best.
he takes me up to the mountain to pray
I sing his songs so i may hear him say

I love you; my child
blessed are you for you seek my council
your cup runneth over
go share it with the world

So I ran to do as my father had said
His glory still with me I feel so alive
Now i tell all why He bled
His love so astounding for a wretch like me
I pray that I reflect this love for the world to see
I lift my hands and sing his praise
Lord guide me in all of your ways

I love you; my child
blessed are you for you seek my council
your cup runneth over
go share it with the world

Now I here a voice that terrifies me so
It's stronger than before when it was just a whisper
no howling like the wind blows
"This isn't your purpose your just a man"
"How can you play such a part in His plan"
Kill steal and destroy is his evil goal
But I hear my Lord speak to my soul

I love you; my child
blessed are you for you seek my council
your cup runneth over
go share it with the world

I have run the race I've fought the good fight
He kept me safe through the darkest night
Now I watch emerald seas as I sit on white shores
Forever Your mine
And forever I'm Yours
