How Many Times Lyrics by Joe Nester

This Is Me

2019

How many times are you gonna doubt yourself?
How many times are you gonna repeat the same mistakes?
Before you finally experienced enough pain
That you wanna make a change
How many times?
How many times you gonna tell yourself you've given up?
How many times you gonna write it down and rip it up?
How many times have you invested in luck?
You've find that penny's facing heads down
Well, turn around and flip it up
Don't you believe in the fake, believe in your faith
Now watch how everything seems to fall into place
And you ain't even gotta try, it's like you're winning the race
'Cuz every time you praise His Name you'll be receiving His Grace's embrace
Now keep me from the wicked
Protect me from the snares
And help me spread this message to anybody who cares
'Cuz I don't wrestle with them lions and tigers and bears
I'm wearing the armour of God and truth is: Beware
[Chorus] x2
How many times have you prayed in the name of?
How many times have you shown him the same love?
That he shows to you
How many times?
How many times?
(Hooo, hoo, hooo)
How many times you gonna lie to yourself?
How many times you been denying yourself?
How many times?
How many times?
How many times you look and decided yourself?
And you're ashamed at what you see, but you don't ask for no help
You'd rather drown in misery and take that rum off the shelf
You'd pour another shot and blamed it on the hand that you were dealt
But you're forgetting about the pain that all your family felt
While you were running in them streets like a slave for a bag of dough
Your parent's worried that their baby might not make it home
They lie awake and they waitin', they crying by the phone
Praying that that they don't get the call that their baby is gone
I know it hurts, but every word that I am speaking is true
I only say it 'cuz I know it; I used to be you
But I had made it and I'm grateful of one of the few
Now I'm heading back just to say that you can make it too
[Chorus] x2
How many times have you prayed in the name of?
How many times have you shown him the same love?
That he shows to you
How many times?
How many times?
(H-H-How many times?)
(Hooo, hoo, hooo)
It doesn't matter how many times you've failed
It doesn't matter how many times you almost got it right
People aren't gonna keep track or care about your failures
Neither should you
It's more important that you learn from them
That you grow from them
And that you keep pushing forward
Because at the end of the day
It doesn't matter how many times you got it wrong
What truly matters, is how many times you get it right
It doesn't matter how many times you've been beaten down
It doesn't matter how many people believe in you now
All that matter's you believe in yourself
'Cuz there's a reason that you're breathing and is keeping you 'round
And everything that you've been going through is part of a plan
But I know it's hard to trust it, and you can't understand
Believe me
We crash and we burn
We live and we learn
If you can only see the blessings that we get in return
You'd be like:
I'll shine through the storm and the struggles
Hard times when I know I'm in trouble
I'll rise
I'll rise
I'll rise through the ash and the rubble
[Chorus] x2
How many times have you prayed in the name of?
How many times have you shown him the same love?
That he shows to you
How many times?
How many times?
(H-H-How many times?)
(Hooo, hoo, hooo)
Never give up on yourself
Stop doubting yourself
'Cuz if you don't believe in yourself
Nobody else will either
As long as you have air in your lungs
You still have a chance to get it right
