Lyrics
But God
1)
Chaos and madness and danger and trials for me.
Everything’s moving so quickly I hardly can see.
I don’t know why this has happened. It feels so surreal!
Maybe I’ll wake up tomorrow to find it’s not real?
(And then I remember…)
Chorus
But God! But God!
He’s the Alpha and Omega.
The beginning and the end.
He knows ev-rything about it.
Upon Him you can depend!
But God! But God!
2)
People’s betrayals, deceptions and lies hurting me.
I’m struggling to understand why these things needed to be!
How has the past been for good as I’m meant to believe?
Can it be true that this really will end up with/for good?
Chorus
3)
My heart is racing, it’s crazy to think I can sleep.
Ev-ry day places seem far away spaces to me.
My head is spinning around and around as I speak.
I’m worried for so much and praying I’ll soon have some peace.
Chorus
Bridge
Maybe I can just trust Him to work it all out.
It is said, He can do far more than I could, ever have hoped.
Now I understand. You wanted me to know…
Final Chorus
But God! But God!
You’re the Alpha and Omega.
The beginning and the end.
You know ev-rything about it.
Upon you I can depend!
But God! But God!
