Minutes

If I only had a minute of your time I would tell you his love is deeper than the ocean

If I only had a second to say it will be OK when it's hard to believe

If I only had a minute I wouldn't try to read your mind

But conversate on struggle and the past I've left behind

Present an open book then wonder where the pages went

Try and explain a man so broken down to commitment

On the surface in plain view, you can't see me as I am

But look beyond my face, imperfection seeks demand

Scars and lasting stains, those things I can't erase

Honesty rugged and raw, yet complete and saved by grace

Wounds to heal with time, and love I took for granted

Anger lived in life, too plain to understand it

But if a moment's all you got, I hope you still remember the name

Since even though were strangers, our struggle seems the same

Is love and hate so far away in the perspective of it all

Here I stand a broken man as I slam my fist against the wall

If the pain of waking up can control my every thought

My anxieties eclipsed by the chance if I did not

If I had a single wish, just one action to proceed

I would pray my mind would focus on those things I really need

If I could give you just a moment, one peek into my plight

You would see the real process, a pursuit of Christian life

When I open up my eyes, when I concentrate on sin

I see my life in vivid color, and how bad it could have been

But alas I'm here again...in renewal I stand, abide

In the end it's not myself, but the one who walks beside

And He was standing there when you did not care

Right beside, youʼre not alone, a life inside this very home
