presence

It's not a waste of time when I'm sitting here in your presence
Though voices inside me telling me to run away
And they say "run away, far away, there is really no time left for you to stay"
But I made up my mind to linger a little longer
I made up my mind to linger a little longer

I'm wasting time sitting, waiting and I don't no why
Got stuff to do that I can't deny, I need fresh air gotta go outside
I feel the need to feel free in me
Just look at the night and possibilities
Waiting here and in my ear is playing the song of fear
And right now I'm caught up by a voice tryna tell me that it all sucks
But stargazing while looking up
The grace that you carry leaves me awestruck and there is nothing I can do
Besides sitting and praying to you
And hoping you can do the greatest in you we trust and that's how me make it

It's not a waste of time when I'm sitting here in your presence
My heart still longs for more cause the more I know You I know myself
And you say that I'm your child
no matter how much I may strive Your love will never fail
and even though you knew that I would do the thing that you don't want
You have removed the veil
And I made up my mind to linger a little longer
I made up my mind to linger a little longer

You helped me in the time when I couldn't
Couldn't think didn't seek in times that I should've.
Didn't get the plans and the keys that you put in front of me
When my feelings drowned my sight so I couldn't see.
But it's all about mentality. The yokes that you're giving us
Is nothing that we can't defeat and when I finally get myself together,
Your voice just breaks through the lies and pressure:
"Drop all the things that pull you back, back into the traps that try to snap
And attack you so you can't find the way to the track that is prepared for you to go back to.
Get yourself together and fight, I'm for you always by your side
Stop sitting and self-pitying, I know you'll succeed
Only look at me proof is in the pudding.

All the things that you've done for me,
the pain that you carried when you set us free.
On that cross when took all shame, broke them burned them in the flames.
Gave yourself for the sake of us and better world, can't comprehend your sacrifice.
My gratitude can't find the words. And I can only follow your lead
Cause you gave me the guarantee that one day we will meet.

It's not a waste of time.
It's not a waste of time.
When I'm here in your presence, it's not a waste of time.
