Porcelain Faith

You’ve gone too far now
I saw the tide swell
Violent, pulling at your feet
Now the currents pulling you under
I watched you sink
Past the point of turning back
No sense of direction
No evidence of conviction
I can see through your masks
I see the pain that you feel
Was your faith ever real?
Because I swear it was
What made you turn your back on the God who was so present in your past
Where are your monuments?
Where are all your reminders?
How could you forget what he has done?
I wish I could understand
And take away what’s caused you pain
If I could I would bear it myself
I would remove what made you hurt
Let it burn in hell
If I could I would take your place
I would carry your burdens
All the way to my grave
You are not alone
And you never were
You uprooted from the soil you once knew
And sought growth in the thorns
No roots will survive in the shallows
Now you’re drowning in scorn
It’s not my goal to cure you
I’m far too weak to do that on my own
But with everything I am I will do my best to point you back home
Hear the call
I want you to know that I’m right here
I want you to know I’m not going anywhere
(I want you to know you’re not alone)
I will never give up, I will never stop
I will fight for you even with nothing left
So never give up, and never give in
When you fall down I will pick you up again
It breaks my heart to see you like this
Here you are
No strength to stand
You gave up everything
You let go of his hand
(When you let go of his hand)
Hear the call
