MISERY

MISERY HOW DO YOU FIND ME
I TRY TO HIDE FROM YOU DAY AFTER DAY
I LIFT MYSELF UP FROM YOUR HELL
BUT YOU ALWAYS FIND ME AND TAKE IT AWAY

MISERY YOU BRING SORROW
PAIN AND HURT WHERE EVER YOU GO
YOU SEARCH THE NIGHT FOR LOVING PEOPLE
AND THEN WANT TO DESTROY ALL THAT THEY KNOW

YOU TAKE A LOVE GONE BAD
THEN TURN A PERSON'S HEART TO STONE
MISERY WHY CAN'T YOU SEE
THEY WOULD HAVE MADE IT IF YOU LEFT THEM ALONE

MISERY SEES NO COLOR OR RACE
IT HURTS THE YOUNG AND VERY OLD
IT ROBS FROM PEOPLE THEIR HAPPINESS
AND BRINGS SORROW TO THEIR SOULS

BUT MISERY HAS AN ENEMY
THAT CAN BRING HIM TO HIS KNEES
JESUS CHRIST THE SON OF GOD
CAN MAKE MISERY TURN AND FLEE

SO LORD I COME BEFORE YOU
I DON'T WANT TO RUN AND HIDE ANYMORE
PLEASE FATHER GIVE ME THE WISDOM
TO SLAM MISERY'S FACE AGAINST MY DOOR

SHOW ME HOW NOT TO LET HIM IN
SHOW ME THE WAY TO A BETTER LIFE
I TRUST AND HAVE FAITH IN YOU
HEAR MY PRAYERS JESUS CHRIST

I KNOW IN SELF
I CAN'T FIGHT OFF THE DEVIL'S CLAN
BUT IN MY DARKEST HOURS LORD
I FEEL YOU REACHING FOR MY HAND

SO I WILL CRY OUT FROM NOW ON
WHEN MISERY SNEAKS AROUND
TO BREAK MY HEART OR HURT ME
BE GONE FOR YOU ARE ON HOLY GROUND

I KNOW LIFE IS NOT HURT FREE
BUT WITH YOU JESUS I CAN FIND REST
FOR MISERY CAN'T LIVE IN ME
WHEN YOU  FILL ME WITH YOUR BEST
