This is track number 4. It is composed from a personal view, certainly many can relate to, of a conversation between a man of faith and God. Sorry, no spoiler alerts. Listen for yourself!
lyrics
Heavenly Father, it's been a while since I've head Your voice last
Please help! I've been enduring such a stormy forecast
It seems to be a lengthy storm that's on a warpath
What'd I do wrong this time? I know that's why You're mad?
If so, I'm on my knees again , and I repent
Please alleviate this problem over present tense
I'm begging for forgiveness so Your love will circumvent
And cancel out the clouds blocking me from heaven sent
My child, I told you I'd never leave you or forsake you. So, you just put your trust in me, and as always I'll be faithful.
Dear Lord, I'm stepping in my prayer closet once again
I'm feeling disregarded as if Jesus ain't my friend
If that's the case, then please respond. I need to make amends
I'm dealing with the same. Maybe You are not convinced
My child, I told you I'd never leave you or forsake you.
So, you just put your trust in me, and as always I'll be faithful...I promise.
This thing is majorly crushing and may be killing me
I know You're eternal, no rushing, but are You feeling me
I'm tapping out of the patience that You've instilled in me
And praying on my measure of faith it's what Your will will be
I know that some moments will be tougher than others to swallow
But issue's got me livid with living and feeling hollow
I'm steaming hot & wonder if Hell is hotter - please, holler!
My child, I told you I'd never leave you or forsake you.
So, you just put your trust in me, and as always I'll be faithful...I promise.
Well, Pops, I'm trying to keep my head above the water
But it's like you're never here when I need You most, so why bother
I really ain't trying to be pompus and pop collars
Or treat You like You're some type of genie off in a bottle
My child, I told you I'd never leave you or forsake you.
So, you just put your trust in me, and as always I'll be faithful.
Every time you're calling out, I hear it all, so have no doubt.
Know that these trials are to build you, and know that My Word of love is still true.
Holy Father, I'm grateful that You're keeping me in check
And all the whining that I did, I meant no disrespect
I hear You now and understand it isn't in neglect
Delaying fixing all the things that seem to be a wreck
Thank You for Your presence in the middle of the test
My child, I told you I'd never leave you or forsake you.
So, you just put your trust in me, and as always I'll be faithful.
I know at times it's difficult for you to understand My ways.
But your ways are not My ways - so just continue giving praise.
I will exalt you in My due time as you stand upon this Rock
I Am your shepherd. I will comfort you and guide you with My rod
I will protect you as I always have as all are in My flock
So, in the times like this, just stand still and remember who I Am - God
