Even When

Written by：Gilbert Seth Stephen

This week I prayed one time

My phone it rang I put you on the other line

And now my thoughts they drift around

My knees remain unacquainted with the ground

Unless my faith is put to the test and I am forced to bow

Although I'm in this flesh

It doesn't mean you shouldn't have the best from me from me

Even when my eyes are dry

Even when my soul is tired

Even when my hands are heavy

I will lift them up to you

It's not about how I feel

Oh lord I am here for you

I exist for you

I close my eyes but all I see

Is a background of black bouncy squiggly lines

And this week's mistakes coming back to mind but

I will lift my voice and make a joyful sound

Forget about me I only get me down

Although I cannot see

It doesn't mean I shouldn't sing to you to you

Even when my eyes are dry

Even when my soul is tired

Even when my hands are heavy

I will lift them up to you

It's not about how I feel

Oh lord I am here for you

I exist for you

You've given me your life and have held mine together

Yet I find

Excuses to slouch in my pew

But when glory divine is sitting in my very presence

The least that I can do is give my all to you

Give my all to you

Even when my eyes are dry

Even when my hands are heavy

I will lift them up to you

It's not about how I feel

Oh lord I am here for you

I exist for you

Even when my eyes are dry

Even when my soul is so tired

I won't leave my hands down by my side

I will lift them up to you

It's not about how I feel

Oh lord I am here for you

'Cause you are here for me

This is what I was made to do

I am here for you
