Lyrics

Sitting right here all alone thinking of you, only you
You on my mind, you in my heart
But still I feel, that we’re so far apart
Lord I feel so empty, I need to know
Because I’ve prayed and poured out my heart
What can I do to get close
Can I get close, close to you, closer to you?
Can I get close, close to you, closer to you?

(Verse)
I want to cry, I want to scream
But I don’t wanna die before I’m drawn close to you
My heart is beating fast my hands are shaking
But I’ll still wait
I’ll receive by faith
Yet I’m still eager to be drawn close to you
(Repeat Chorus)

Faithful you are (Repeat x3).

Still stand my brother, my sister, ohh…

Stand, for Jehovah Shammah is standing by your side
Stand, the fire you’re going through is purging you inside

Verse
Come in from work being paid $2000 (JA dollars) a week
But you can’t quit cause you’ve got a ‘lotta’ mouths to feed
But on top of that you know you have all the bills to pay
Rent is due in a few days.
Yet it seems so strange,
In spite of your struggles you choose to praise Him anyway
You’re still happy to do what the Father says
And I’m here to back you up and to help you say……..

Rept. Chorus A

Verse
You ever have so many troubles yet, that you feel like you can’t pray
Intimidated, insecure and from even people yuh(your) own troubles dem a drive you away
Dem back yuh up inna a likkle(little) corner
Thoughts of suicide plague your mind
You may be present here in the flesh
But in thoughts you’re in another zone, another time.
But just like the young man in St. Mark 5
God knows you’ve been crying out ‘how much longer’
He said to tell you Im (he is) on Im way, so keep on fighting yuh (you are) getting stronger
There are some struggles that will bring a strong man down to his knees
But with lifted hands help me sing and step into your victory.

(Repeat Chorus)

(Vamp)
All you’ve got to do is lift your hands
In the midst of the storm you’ve got to learn to praise
Say Hallelujah, Lord you’re worthy
Lord I love, I know you are able
I will worship you,
You’re awesome
My redeemer
My deliverer
I love you, I praise you …
