Song Lyrics

Verse:
Turning, twisting, bending down;
One time smile, the next time frown-Whoa!
Don’t like what’s in my heart;
Hate the way it comes apart-No!

Turn me, bend me; break me up;
Make me go away, then make me stop;
Hold me close, then push me away;
It’s like You don’t ever hear me pray;

Chorus:
I thank You, Lord, I hate my life;
Tearing me down in all this strife;
I have You there, though far away;
I have You there, to hear me say,
“Thank You, Lord; I hate my life!”

Verse:
Hard times come, here and now,
Teaching, Lord, to You I bow-Hey!
It’s in You, I’ll always be,
For it’s Jesus who saved me-Yeah!

My head turned down makes me look up;
To seek the One with saving cup;
And in that Life, I’ll see in me,
Your glorious Son who set me free;

Bridge:
You teach me to hate what I held dear,
One day soon, You’ll soon be near;
Your work in me is my command,
Holding this life with an open hand;
The tears I weep You keep with You;
You’ll wipe away what’s left, ‘cause You are true;




"...and he who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life."-John 12:22b
