99 Times (Psalms

Описание: Original lyrics inspired by Psalms 34:19...




Verse 1

Same old boots by the front door
Same bills stacked on the counter
Truck won’t start, snow on the windshield
Mama’s voice stuck in my voicemail
Saying, “Baby, you’re gonna get through somehow”
But I’m staring at these four walls
Wondering how much more I can hold now

Chorus

99 times I hit the ground
99 ways the sky fell down
Every time it felt like the end of the line
Something in me stood back up
When the weight said “boy, that’s enough”
I don’t know how, but I know I’m still standing here
99 times this heart’s been broken
99 times a whisper kept it open

Verse 2

Saw my name on a white stone marker
In a dream I had last winter
Woke up shaking in a dark room
Heart racing like a sinner
But the dawn crawled through that thin glass
Painted gold on my old floor
Made me feel like maybe all this
Meant I’m made for a little bit more

Chorus

99 times I hit the ground
99 ways the sky fell down
Every time it felt like the end of the line
Something in me stood back up
When the weight said “boy, that’s enough”
I don’t know how, but I know I’m still standing here
99 times this heart’s been broken
99 times a whisper kept it open

Bridge

I’ve been bent, I’ve been busted
Lost my way, never lost my faith
Call it mercy, call it stubborn
Call it grace, call it chance
All I know is when the storm comes hard
A stronger hand clears my path

Final Chorus

99 times I hit the ground
99 ways the sky fell down
Every time it felt like the end of the line
Something in me stood back up
When the weight said “boy, that’s enough”
I don’t know how, but I know I’m still standing here
99 times this heart’s been broken
99 times a whisper kept it open
