Jehovah Shammah
Life I need a way out
Christ come take the pain out
Please I know I'm needin' God
He can make the bleeding stop
You said you wouldn't put on me what I couldn't bear
I'm calling on Your name because I know You'll be there
Life I need a way out
Christ come take the pain out
Please I know I'm needin' God
He can make the bleeding stop
You said you wouldn't put on me what I couldn't bear
Jehovah Shammah help me get over this drama
A lot of struggles I had to juggle to stay above the minimum
Didn't let em get to me booted em just like a Pentium
Rough child life, grew up way too fast
Almost had to make the choice between my mom and my dad
Divorce my own rendition of Family Portrait
Family's distorted what happened family's important
At least I thought it to be my family fought constantly
The toughest thing I thought it started with me
I was a step farther than my brother and sister
I didn't want a step father begged my mother to listen
It was a split decision not decision to split
I tried to fix division too late incision was slit
Intention was missed I had no intentions of this
I wish it was diff like gifts on the Christmas list
But this is the end we packed back to livin' wit kin
You shoulda thought about this deeper
For you dished out yo kid I'm singin'
Life I need a way out
Christ come take the pain out
Please I know I'm needin' God
He can make the bleeding stop
You said you wouldn't put on me what I couldn't bear
I'm calling on Your name because I know You'll be there
Life I need a way out
Christ come take the pain out
Please I know I'm needin' God
He can make the bleeding stop
You said you wouldn't put on me what I couldn't bear
Jehovah Shammah help me get over this drama
Unpacked unraveled we traveled to reach our destination
3000 Miles we strangers like foreigners on spaceships
With what we had in suitcases great grams was gracious
To let us stay with til we could cop our own places
That was my placement after 6th grade graduation
We left the state of Ohio moms makin' a statement
A better outlook like chicks gettin' a facelift
"Face it" so we got in the Greyhound and started pacin'
I wanted popularity from every Tom Dick and Harry
But vulgarity entered clouded my clarity the parody
"Get in where you fit in" never shared with me
All of the pressin' made me less than I was prepared to be
Tried to be the man that the chicks would admire (that was vanity)
And plan to be the guy businesses hire (plus keep my sanity)
God had a better share for me He showed me charity
Verily no comparin' the Christ unto the cares of this LIFE
Life I need a way out
Christ come take the pain out
Please I know I'm needin' God
He can make the bleeding stop
You said you wouldn't put on me what I couldn't bear
I'm calling on Your name because I know You'll be there
Life I need a way out
Christ come take the pain out
Please I know I'm needin' God
He can make the bleeding stop
You said you wouldn't put on me what I couldn't bear
Jehovah Shammah help me get over this drama
When I didn't have a car when dad was behind bars
Playin' wit the white kids gave me scars
While the rich ate Lucky Charms
We had our Corn Flakes and made believe our cereal they had stars
I was in my Egypt non-equipped to fight the demons
And screamin' desperately for someone to bring me freedom
Then Jesus He pulled me out of slavery
So as the Bride of Christ He's the Supa I'm the Mrs. Avery
Created me knows life's trials before they wave at me
Keeps my faith in shape so I don't go on wavering
Firm on the rock like Wavorly
Cuz I know He'll be there in what I go through
So when I go through I'll always go through
He's my go-to like A.I
Jehovah Shammah I'ma serve You with honor
My armor my Abba my Father
You gave me life and all it's substance
Christ and His abundance
So I can give You me and what it comes with
Life I need a way out
Christ come take the pain out
Please I know I'm needin' God
He can make the bleeding stop
You said you wouldn't put on me what I couldn't bear
I'm calling on Your name because I know You'll be there
Life I need a way out
Christ come take the pain out
Please I know I'm needin' God
He can make the bleeding stop
You said you wouldn't put on me what I couldn't bear
Jehovah Shammah help me get over this drama
Christ come take the pain out
Please I know I'm needin' God
He can make the bleeding stop
You said you wouldn't put on me what I couldn't bear
I'm calling on Your name because I know You'll be there
Life I need a way out
Christ come take the pain out
Please I know I'm needin' God
