sometimes i hate this world.

I’ve been there
It’s more than just stress
Oh, that you had the wings of a dove
You would fly away and rest (Psalm 55:6)

Weeping may last for the night
The longest night of your life
But I can promise you that
Rejoicing comes in the morning (Psalm 30:5)

Are you broken?
Are you dismayed?
You know you did the best you could do
But it ended up this way (Psalm 73:13…23-26)

Weeping may last for the night
The longest night of your life
But I can promise you that
Rejoicing comes in the morning

You will both lay down in peace, and you will sleep (Psalm 4:8)
Where morning dawns and evening fades God calls forth songs of joy (Psalm 65:8)
He’ll sing to you and quiet you with love (Zephaniah 3:17)

I know you feel
You won’t last another day
But when the fires of life arise
You will walk on through unscathed (Isaiah 43:2)

Weeping may last for the night
The longest night of your life
But I can promise you that
Rejoicing comes in the morning

She cannot see the ocean.
For the trees that block the way.
She cannot see forever 'cause,
she cant see past today.
She's driving home so empty.
From another one night stand.
With a guy who doesnt care,
but just wants to feel like a man.
If only falling in love was as easy making it.

But
nobody hugs a rose (3x)
She's all alone 'cause nobody hugs a rose.

She has no ring to speak of.
Save the one her daddy left.
He stepped out of her life,
leaving some jewelry on a shelf.
Seems like every man she loves ends up walking away.

'Cause
nobdy hugs a rose (3x)
She's all alone 'cause nobody hugs rose.

There's never been a prettier soul,
No, theres never been a lovelier rose.
But she can never wipe away all her tears.
She cries herself to sleep and
wakes up to the same old fears.
She only needs someone to hold to her right now.
A man who would wear those thorns like a crown.

She steps into the bedroom,
and falls onto the floor.
She cries out to her savior
that she just cant take no more.
Jesus says "Girl I've been waiting,
for this very day.
When I could pick you up and strip those dirty thorns away."
Nevermore will she think in her old futile ways,

That
nobody hugs a rose (3x)
She's not alone, 'cause somebody loved a rose.

Out here its live and learn,
so you can rush and earn,
a peice of this pie.
Its work today and rest tomorrow,
but it's never tomorrow.
untill we die.
We strive to find contentment,
and so often we miss it,
when it's knocking at the door.
We're too busy to open up,
busy with other stuff,
so we go on as before.

Like a pencil you hold dear,
but you lose behind your ear.
You won't find it 'cause its already here.
You can't see it with those
eyes so tightly closed.
Its right here in front of your nose.

What are we fighting for?
Are the spoils of war,
all they're meant to be?
We strive for 401k,
but we could make a trade,
for eternity.
Put down those papers,
put down that phone.
Put down those fake diamond and imposter cologne.
Yes, theres contentment.
No, its not free.
You have to lay down your anxiety.

If you were trying to end change,
you're wishing for the grave.
This is the flux of things,
in the rain you will get wet.
And there is trouble yet,
this is how we pay our debt.
Running past the things you want,
it was always here.
You just closed your eyes and couldn't see it.
Open your eyes.
You'll see it's still here.
But you can't chase this world and find contentment.

It has a face, it has a name.
Jesus Christ.
What if I told you,
you could live forever,
if you'd lay it all down?
What if I told you,
you could live forever?
Just lay it down.
