Minutes

If I only had a minute of your time I would tell you his love is deeper than the ocean
If I only had a second to say it will be OK when it's hard to believe
If I only had a minute I wouldn't try to read your mind
But conversate on struggle and the past I've left behind
Present an open book then wonder where the pages went
Try and explain a man so broken down to commitment
On the surface in plain view, you can't see me as I am
But look beyond my face, imperfection seeks demand
Scars and lasting stains, those things I can't erase
Honesty rugged and raw, yet complete and saved by grace
Wounds to heal with time, and love I took for granted
Anger lived in life, too plain to understand it
But if a moment's all you got, I hope you still remember the name
Since even though were strangers, our struggle seems the same
Is love and hate so far away in the perspective of it all
Here I stand a broken man as I slam my fist against the wall
If the pain of waking up can control my every thought
My anxieties eclipsed by the chance if I did not
If I had a single wish, just one action to proceed
I would pray my mind would focus on those things I really need
If I could give you just a moment, one peek into my plight
You would see the real process, a pursuit of Christian life
When I open up my eyes, when I concentrate on sin
I see my life in vivid color, and how bad it could have been
But alas I'm here again...in renewal I stand, abide
In the end it's not myself, but the one who walks beside
And He was standing there when you did not care
Right beside, youʼre not alone, a life inside this very home
