The Lord gave me Trials

by Shelby G.   May 28, 2006


The everything you are is the nothing I've become
The sword you've driven through my heart, nothing is clear anymore
There's a pounding in my head and chest that's beating like a drum
Crying hysterically upon my knees on this bitter cold floor
Is there a meaning in such an action?
Is there truth behind your lies?
Stunned - hence my late reactions
How could I have been so surprised

Was this the fate we've driven ourselves too?
Were we going downhill from the very start?
Ocean of pain, God, tell me it's not true
How could we have severed ourselves apart?
Is there meaning in such vile ways?
Is there truth within it all?
You're gone, so I'll just stay
I'll stand here until my legs give out and I fall
Are we really gonna throw away such a beautiful light?
Can we really just watch this work of art burn?
The weight is pulling me down, but I'll fight
I'll collapse to the pits of hell in turn

Without you the sun just doesn't shine as bright
Without you the sky just doesn't seem as blue
Without you nothing seems quite right
Because I'm nothing when I don't have you

I still remember all the perfect moments, I remember all the care
I remember I could always come to you because you were always there
There was always love within our hearts, always passion in our eyes
The bright candle which burned for us has flickered until it died
You'd given me back the will to live, that need to stay alive
You'd given me the love of which I had been deprived
You had always stayed so close to me, as if to hold my hand
You'd painted color in my world which was bitter and bland
Nothing in life really mattered, nothing mattered but you
But you seem so far away so I don't know what to do

I walk around so lost, as if something had disappeared
Everything has turned out just as I'd always feared
My lip is bleeding, I've bitten it so hard
The end draws closer as you've grown far
As an angel you've stepped you're foot upon my back
Grabbed my wings and ripped them off, expecting no attack
The tears of which I shed are the promises unfulfilled
The blood in which flows is a cup for every pill
No drug can save me now, no love can bring me back
The brightness in my life is fading back to black

Bewilderment, forlorn, I stare up at the sky
I take the deepest breath I can, trying not to cry
Yelling to the lord above, he heard me, I don't know how
But I held my chin up high and screamed "GOD JUST TAKE ME NOW!"
The pain that's deep inside, leaves a scar that burns fire
Theres a weakness in my body of which I quickly tire
Growing impatient with the silence, I was to scream to him once again
Stopping to take a breath every now and then

"I know I can't be the best! I know I can't be perfect like you!
But, Lord, I've given up, I just don't know what to do!
WHY do you continue to steal from me, Lord?
Why do you leave my heart so tender - leave it so forlorn?
Haven't you put me through enough trials? What more can you take from me?
Dear almighty lord, Why can't you f`ing see?!
There isn't a whole lot left of me, I've pushed as far as I can!"
And it was about that time right there, someone grabbed my hand

Looking all around I see no one around for miles
I stand shocked and scared and crying for a while
"Lord, is that you?" I asked, almost expecting a reply
And for the answer I received, the shock almost made me die
No, It wasn't God at all, wasn't even an angel of any kind
But it was a guy named Issa who was standing by my side...
God can put me through the trials, he can give me all the tests
He'll send me through Hell - giving it his best
But there are somethings in life that are stronger than a diamond shield
There can be things in life that are stronger than any emotion that you feel

Tear me down and pick me up, Hold me high and see
You've given me wings - so you can tear them away from me
Dragging on with no hope at all
Staggering on, but I'll never fall
Because the only person who can hurt me is the one that always picks me up....

There will always be anger, there will always be pain
But there will always be someone to keep you sane
Even if they can be the ones that drive you mad
Deep at heart they aren't that bad

Love will always be between us even if there's tension too
Truth may hurt and lies may sting, and sometimes I may not know what to do
But there will always be something there, there will always be someone
Even if the Lord is the only one
He won't always be your only something, he'll eventually give you what you earn
There's pain, joy and hate - but you live and learn
Let the Lord give you trials, you haven't got a choice so no surprise
But there a promise that at the end of them you'll get your well earned prize
