Sam Ock Near song lyrics

I say the opposite thing, I want to be assured

I want to know that love is greater far than empty words

My cynicism many times irrational, absurd

Pride it tells me that I'm further gone than any word

I have the gall, yes I think I really have the nerve

To challenge unconditional love to be a verb

Many things I observe clash with what I heard

The black and white makes my insides grey, blurred

I am much less faithful than you think I am

My heart's palate tastes bitterness and loves bland

Need to water myself, ‘cause I'm dry land

I want to know but I don't really want to understand…

But I've come to know one thing

To be alone, it could be my life's ending

So in all I don't know, God I need You, I need You to keep me close…

I'll push away

But I really want You to stay

Can You be the strength of my faith?

I need You to keep me close…

Do you think I'm a fool

‘Cause I deserve that

I'm just a broken tool

Devoid of functionality

Why can't You be my first resort

Why must You be my last resort…

I am forgiven and I don't deserve that…

I have the remedy and didn't even do a thing.

I'm making You my only choice

I'm making You my only choice

I'll push away

But I really want You to stay

Can You be the strength of my faith?

I need You to keep me close…

I am much less faithful than you think I am

My heart's palate tastes bitterness and loves bland

Need to water myself, ‘cause I'm dry land

I want to know but I don't really want to understand…

But I've come to know one thing

To be alone, it could be my life's ending

So in all I don't know, God I need You, I need You to keep me close…

I'll push away

But I really want You to stay

Can You be the strength of my faith?

I need You to keep me close…
