While You're up there just playing hard to get
Where I'm lost enough to let myself be led
Will those who mourn be left uncomforted
And I know it would not hurt any less
And don't see the blood that's running in Your sweat
And after I figured this, somehow
Hear the prayers of those of us who live in skin
Did You ever know loneliness, did You ever know need?
And who get hardened by the hurt
All I really need to know
Do You remember just how long a night can get?
Did You forget about us after You had flown away?
And I know that I am only lashing out
I'm reeling from these voices that keep screaming in my ears
We have a love that's not as patient as Yours was
Hear the prayers of those of us who live in time
Well I memorized every word You said
You who live in radiance
Is if You who live in eternity
Where we all scrape to find the faith to ask for daily bread
And I know You bore our sorrows
At the One who loves me most
And we can not get free of what we've left behind
All the words of shame and doubt, blame and regret
And so You've been here all along I guess
Still we do love now and then
We can't see what's ahead
When You were barely holding on and Your friends fall asleep
And I know You feel our pain
Still I'm so scared, I'm holding my breath
Who are afraid of being left by those we love
While You're up there just playing hard to get?
Do you remember when You lived down here?
I can't see how You're leading me unless You've led me here
Even if it could be explained
