So much has happened these years

that I am lost in constant fear

I know I shouldn't question you

but its hard to see the truth

Father I'm calling on your name

will you rid me of this pain

If not give me strength from you

so I can stand and make it through

The pain in my heart lives free

feels like the darkness wants me

but I'm trusting in your grace

To fight and see a better day

Father I'm calling on your name

will you rid me of this pain

If not give me strength from you

so I can stand and make it through

My tears fall in this dark room

the ones I love have left too soon

I know it was all in your plan

but I seek dreams to see them again

Father I'm calling on your name

will you rid me of this pain

If not give me strength from you

so I can stand and make it through

I may not know when ill find peace

but ill fight through all this grief

you made me strong in your way

So ill take it all day by day

Father I'm calling on your name

will you rid me of this pain

If not give me strength from you

so I can stand and make it through
