Kirk Franklin - Listen Lyric

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
