Encore
James Fortune Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When I felt like I couldn't take life anymore
I cannot find my way
Or the strength to fight another day
God I'm losing it
Feels like I cannot last through this
So won't you fix it like you did before
You're the God of the encore
God I can count on you
You're God
Like I did before
You're God
Do it again
This is not the first time that I've been afraid
And I ask myself how did I get back to this place
But I refuse to stay right here and live a life that's full of fear
God I need You now
Only you can bring me out of this
So won't you fix it like you did before
You're God
You're the God of the encore
God I can count on you
You're God
Like I did before
You're God
Do it again
Do it again
Do it again
Restore me again
Fix it again
Work it out again
Encore
You're the God of the encore
