How Is It Between Us?
Groves Sara Lyrics

Woke up on the wrong side of the bed
I woke up feeling uneasy and discontent

The wrong side of the room
My surroundings feel unfamiliar and uncomfortable

The wrong side of the world
The world seems like a negative and hostile environment

I can't put my finger on the mood
I'm unsure of what specifically is causing my unease

It's not melancholy, anger or the blues, mmhmm
My mood isn't a typical emotion, like sadness, anger or depression

And I love my husband, my house, my job
I have things in my life that I'm grateful for

Couldn't be any better
Everything in my life is going well

And really, what else is there
I have all the material things I need, so what else is missing?

Then I realize, I'm forgetting God
I haven't been thinking about my spiritual self and my relationship with God

It's the root of all my misery
My unease and discontent stems from neglecting my spiritual health

Lord, first of all, how is it between You and me
God, before anything else, how is my relationship with you?

When did I talk to You last and what has happened since
I need to reflect on when I last communicated with God and what's happened in my life since then

When I wake up I am on my way
When I begin my day, I'm focused on my goals and ambitions

Reinventing the wheel and saving the day
I'm trying to do things my own way and make a big impact

And I've learned this lesson a hundred times
I keep making the same mistake and forgetting that I need God in my life

I am the branch and You are the vine, oh
I am not self-sufficient, I need to rely on God for strength and guidance

And apart from You, we are mice and men
Without God, we are insignificant and powerless

With our fancy dreams of grandeur
We may have big dreams and ambitions, but they're meaningless without God

And no way to get there
We can't achieve our goals with our own efforts alone

And I can think about You now and then
I sometimes remember God, but not enough to maintain a strong relationship

Or I can make a mark on eternity
I can focus on achieving things that will have a lasting impact, but this shouldn't come at the expense of my spiritual well-being

So let the wicked prosper
I'm not concerned about the success of others who don't prioritize their spiritual health

Let oceans roar, let the mountains crumble and fall into the sea
No external factor is as important as my relationship with God

There's something more important weighing on my mind
My relationship with God is the most important thing on my mind

Oh, how is it between us, Lord
God, how is my relationship with you?

When did I talk to You last and what has happened since
I need to reflect on when I last communicated with God and what's happened in my life since then

When did I talk to You last and what has happened since
I need to reflect on when I last communicated with God and what's happened in my life since then
