When The Walls Go Down

Lord if you don't help I can't get through this

I can't

Lord I'm too old for games

Foolish games

And I'm tired of rhetoric

Meaningless rhetoric

That never changes things

Lord just help me

Help me

I was feeling God's pain

And I've never had anything

That's been any worth to God

In my 50 years

That wasn't born in agony

Never never

Dead...empty...

And I know that sermons won't do it

I know that Revelation won't do it

Covenant won't do it

I know now

Oh my God

Do I know it

Until I hit agony

Until I have been anguished over it

I'm preaching sermons

Oh God

I broke down

And I wept

And I mourned

Does it matter to you at all

I can't handle this

I can barely make it as it is

Little by little

You're losing it

The lamb of God

The love of Christ

People I know that were my friends

And I see them go one by one

Some of my closest friends

You're changing

You know what you were

You're changing

Little by little

Something's happening to you

Will it bring you to your knees

That's all the Devil wants to do

Is get the fight out of you

And kill it

So you won't labor in prayer anymore

You won't weep before God anymore

Go to Hell

No weeping

Not a word of prayer

It's all ruined

No laughing

This is life and death

When the walls go down

And ruin sets in

Where are the tears

Where's the mourning

Where's the confessing

Love of Christ

The agony

Of God's heart

We have sinned...
