Amen Lyrics by Empty Atlas

Hestia

2016

[Verse 1]
I tend to juxtapose the Great I Am with the great that I’m not
Like You’re beholden to me or I deserve something
More than what I’ve got
But I’m having church in a parked car, reopening old scars
Counting all the ways in which You got me this far, Lord
And I shouldn’t ask for more

[Chorus]
Yet here I am, “amen” in my throat
This little light of mine is struggling to glow
And I never meant to hide it, oh no, but I sure did

[Verse 2]
Since I was a kid, playing soldiers in the woods behind my house
All the greed and hate and jealousy that left my little mouth
I hoped for saving grace from outer space, but never wondered how
And I don’t think I understood
It’s not a simple little prayer or a turning of the heart
It’s a constant cry for help because my world is in the dark
Yet You care for me, confusingly
Forgive me and restart in my attempt at being good

[Chorus]
Yet here I am, “amen” in my throat
This little light of mine is struggling to glow
And I never meant to hide it, oh no, but I sure did
And here I am, “amen” in my throat
This little light of mine is struggling to glow
I’m going to need Your help to light it, oh no

[Bridge]
‘Cause I’ve been drowning for too long
I’ve been drowning for too long
I’ve been drowning for too long

[Chorus]
Lord, here I am, “amen” in my throat
This little light of mine is struggling to glow
I’m going to need Your help to light it, oh no

[Outro]
‘Cause I’ve been drowning for too long
And I can’t do this on my own, but I don’t have to
