forgive me
I.T.S. Lyrics

Father, I'm going through some heavy things
I'm facing some difficult challenges in my life, God.

It seems like this world ain't getting any better
Things in this world seem to be getting worse.

The more we try to get closer to You
Despite our efforts to get closer to God,

The farther we run from Your throne
We seem to be moving further away from Him.

I've spent so many nights wonderin' when will it end
I've spent countless nights wondering when things will get better.

When will the day come when happiness begins
When will I be truly happy and content in life?

I'm running the race but it seems too hard to win
Life feels like a never-ending struggle.

I'm sick of mourning my stomach is throwing up in the morning
I'm tired of feeling sad and anxious every day.

I'm calling for help and watching it melt away
I'm asking for help but it seems like no one can truly understand or help me.

My heart's been put on display and put away
I've opened up to others about my struggles, but they don't seem to care or take me seriously.

In many ways, many times I told myself it was ok
I've convinced myself that everything is fine when it's not.

And anger was the price that was paid
I've become angry and frustrated with myself and the world.

While these faded dreams just screamed to bring them home
My dreams and aspirations seem out of reach and unattainable.

The burden was too heavy I kept running from the throne
The weight of my problems and struggles felt too heavy to bear, so I kept avoiding God.

I can't take it any longer
I've reached my breaking point.

I can taste my spirit hunger
I feel a deep longing for a spiritual connection.

God please help me get home
God, I need your guidance and help to find my way.

Lord though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
Even if I'm facing the darkest moments of life,

I'm not scared cause You're holding my breath
I'm not afraid because I know that God is with me.

I only fear that I don't have enough time left
My only fear is that I won't have enough time in life to make a difference.

To tell the world that there's no time left, Lord please
I want to tell others that time is running out and we need to turn to God.

I've come to terms that I'm burning both sides of the rope
I've realized that I'm living a self-destructive lifestyle.

And I'm hoping that self-control would kick in before I'm choking off
I'm hopeful that I can learn to control my impulses before they consume me.

The sin that be destroying every fiber I got
My sins are tearing me apart and destroying me.

I need the Lord in every way I'll never make it I'm not
I need God's help and guidance or I won't be able to make it.

Going back to the way I was before Christ in my life
I can't go back to the person I was before I found Christ.

I couldn't do it I would lose it there's no point to the fight
I would lose myself if I went back to my old ways, so there's no point in fighting it.

And I'm writing this song, for the people who don't belong
I'm writing this song for those who feel lost and alone.

I pray away the pain you feel from all the things that went wrong
I pray that God will heal the pain and hurt from the past.

'Cause daddy treated you weaker than all of the other kids
Your father treated you unfairly compared to your siblings.

It's annoying and I feel for all of you who wanna give up
It's frustrating and I sympathize with those who want to give up.

You feel stuck I feel the same way Lord help us stay up
We both feel trapped and hopeless, God please help us.

You couldn't pay me to abandon the idea of true hope
Nothing can make me give up on the hope and faith I have in God.

That I could make it through this life into a place where there's no crying
I believe that I can make it through this life and reach a place of true happiness and peace.

I'm dying to find You with open arms when I go
I'm eager to find God waiting for me with open arms when I die.

Knowing You love me and You waiting to give rest to my soul
Knowing that God loves me and is waiting to give me eternal rest gives me peace.

Lord I don't know what I'm struggling for
God, I don't understand why I'm facing such difficult struggles.

There's go to be more
There has to be a greater purpose for my life.

Than this life I know
There is more to life than what I'm currently experiencing.

But still I'm here fighting to never give up
Nevertheless, I'm still fighting and refusing to give up.

I find strength in Your love
I find the strength to keep going through God's love.

And You will see me through
I trust that God will see me through these struggles.
