Broken Praise (Job) Lyrics & Tabs by Todd Smith
Broken Praise (Job)
guitar chords lyrics
If one more person takes my hand
And tries to say they understand
And tells me there's a bigger plan
That I'm not meant to see
If one more person dares suggest
That I held something unconfessed
And tries to make the dots connect
From righteousness to easy street
Well I, I won't deny
That I've relied on some assumptions
A man's honest life
Entitles him to something
Who am I to make demands
Of the God of Abraham?
And who are You that You would choose
Who am I to make demands
Of the God of Abraham?
And who are You that You would choose
To answer me with mercy new
How many more will wander past
To find me here among the ashes
Will You hold me? Will You stay?
So I can raise this broken praise to You, oh
Who else will see my suffering
As one more opportunity
To educate, to help me see
All my flawed theology
If one more well intentioned friend
Tries to tie up my loose ends
Hoping to, with rug and broom
Sweep awkward moments from the room
But I, I can't forget
That I have begged just like a madman
For my chance to die
Never have to face the morning
Who am I to make demands
Of the God of Abraham?
And who are You that You would choose
To answer me with mercy new
How many more will wander past
To find me sitting in this ash
Will you hold me? Will you stay?
So I can raise this broken praise to You
But You were the One who filled my cup
And You were the One who let it spill
So blessed be Your Holy name
If You never fill it up again
If this is where my story ends
Just give me one more breath to say
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
