O Lyrics

Verse 1:

Waking early in the morning

Hit the horn

Hoping from inside of the house I hear it go off

Because all our cupboards are low, and all this money we owe

Every day it ain't towed, Is manna from God

Spot to spot, suit and tie

And I have applied to

Like a thousand jobs over and under qualified

Still nothing's opening up

I'm hot and sweating, the sun

Is beaming down now, it's summertime 2009



Lord knows that I'm tired

Know my wife is a fighter

It's wearing on us

Hope her love tears through this attire

And God'll bring us through

Grow us closer with peace

Not strife as struggle in marriage tends to do

And he did it

With closed doors hitting

God walked me in a building that was fulfillment of a vision

That I had years vintage

If I got that last job

Wouldn't have went

And missed what he was preparing me for



Hook:

So If you ever feel stuck and can't move

And even when you try your legs get bruised

And all the options exhausted, darkness looms

Doubt, worry, and anxiety starts to bloom

Though victory seems far, you trust in God

Knowing he's working for our good, keep pressing on

No, you are not alone, just shun those lies

Even when life's down on you, it's worth the fight



Life is a field full of laughter and hurt

E-I, E-I, E-I, O

But know that every second is a seed in the dirt

E-I, E-I, E-I, O

Mistakes are never wasted, even waste has worth

E-I, E-I, E-I, O

So live, plow on, in light and love and know that

Verse 2:

I learned to never take a paycheck for granted

Maximize wherever I am, take advantage

Of every season, even with its restrictions

And peace is not contingent on blissful conditions

An ethic of effort's the engine, wisdom's the belt

Dying to pride is an end in and of itself

When your spouse is your best friend, those tough times tender

Mistakes can be fertilizer for good or to injure



So for every decision that was made without seeking the book

For that timeshare offer we shouldn't have took

And those shiny new pots that we shouldn't have copped

And the line of credit we opened but shouldn't have got

Every relationship that may have meant well at first

And ended up in the sewer after showing its worth

Every premature leap and delayed comply

And everything we thought we wanted but was denied

Every prayer for a child that's finding their way

And every tear for loved ones that passed away

All of the choices that were made out of selfish ambition

All of the missed targets, failed ammunition

Keep shooting, we're being rooted in him

Grace to the foolish, buffoonish

Hardened-heart hooligan

Mercy melting all of it down to be molded to him

Whether its stop, drop, and roll or stop and frisk

Oh, we in the fire, and there's a lesson

If we ain't learning, we losing

Ain't living, we dead

Alive but ain't dying, we Judas

We students, and know our failures ain't denied graduation

We walking upon his merits

So there's no condemnation for those in Christ

Rebuke whatever says otherwise

Even if that voice of damnation is coming from inside

Every single moment taken, thrown into the pot

Stewed together just right for the glory of God

Our Lord

Bridge:

And when our bells gets rung

We will put our fists up

Round for round

Knocked down, we will get up

In every trial his name we will lift up

Standing firm, like lawyers

And when some things arise

To stifle and hinder

Remember the suffering here won't compare to

The glory revealed in Christ

Fight the doubt

Rejoice in each day

Abide in his love
