Lyrics
As I'm building up this house
Expressing the process of constructing something meaningful or significant.
I wonder what of it will stay
Reflecting on what elements or aspects of the created structure will endure.
It seems You just take things away
Perceiving a pattern of God seemingly taking things away from the speaker's life.
And I'll admit I shouldn't say these things
Acknowledging a reluctance to voice certain thoughts or complaints.
But I have got to hear from You somehow
Expressing a deep desire to hear from God despite uncertainties.
Does this have a point to it?
Pondering the purpose or meaning behind the challenges faced.
God, I wish I could hear You
Expressing a strong longing to hear directly from God.
You said You'd help me through this
Recalling God's promise to provide assistance during difficult times.
I wish You didn't have to
Expressing a wish for the challenges to be absent.
Why did You take this away? I wanted it
Questioning God about the removal of something desired.
Show me that there is no need to be afraid
Pleading for reassurance and the absence of fear.
Can I move on now that it's gone?
Questioning the ability to move forward after the loss.
As I travel down this road
Contemplating the direction of the speaker's journey.
I wonder if I should turn home
Considering the possibility of returning to a familiar place.
All this time I've felt alone
Expressing a prolonged sense of loneliness.
My head in my hands
Symbolizing distress or deep emotional turmoil.
Where were You when I was in need?
Questioning the absence of divine help during a time of need.
And I look back to find You chasing me
Recalling instances of God pursuing the speaker.
Sometimes I try and I miss the point of it
Acknowledging occasional failure to grasp the meaning or purpose of events.
It's about time we die we're not down here for us
Highlighting the transient nature of life and the notion of a higher purpose.
As You're tearing down this house
Describing the process of God deconstructing or removing certain aspects of life.
There is only one thing I can say
Expressing gratitude for God's selective removal and transformation.
I'm so glad You take away
Recognizing the positive outcomes resulting from God's actions.
And I'll admit things worked out for the good
Admitting that things ultimately worked out for the speaker's good.
And it's about time I understood
Realizing the significance and understanding behind God's actions.
