Lyrics of 'Listen' by Kirk Franklin

Light of the world, please don't give up on me, I'm so lost right now
Reach through the dark
I feel like I've been missing
God of the stars, can You silence the storm deep in me right now?
Relight my fire
That warm embrace has ended

You, I can't keep up with You
Help me know what's true
Lies have become believable
I don't know what else I can say
So maybe it's better this way
If I just listen

Oh, son of man from the clouds, if I speak, can you hear right now?
I knew your name before sin left you broken
I hold the keys, so tell me why's your heart full of fear right now?
I knew you would fall
So grace keeps my arms wide open for

You, I can't give up on you
Your tendencies I knew
Which makes each nail more beautiful
Don't get in your own way
There's life in each word that I say
If you just listen

Why is it so hard to believe?
But there is one sure guarantee, if you just

Listen, you speak but don't listen
That's why you keep missing
The beautiful things heaven has for you
Just know then
When you have come to your end
That's when new life begins
Yes, it feels like it's forever, but it's sweeter on the other side of you

La, la-la-la la-la-la
La-la-la la-la-la, la-la
La, la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la, la-la-la

Don't get in your own way
There's life in each word that I say, if we just

As time pierces through my procrastination
How much further I'd be if I just considered my past affliction
Only to confess I am my own prisoner
Found guilty of the crime that I constantly did not listen

Tomorrow's more clearer if we would just listen
His touch feels more nearer if we could listen
And now I know
I wouldn't fail as much if I would just listen
Patterns of circles and circles for my life are over if I listen

Tomorrow's more clearer if we would just listen
The truth is
His touch feels more nearer if we could just listen
Please
And now I know
I wouldn't fail as much if I would just listen
Please
Patterns of circles and circles for my life are over if I listen
