New
By: Jacob McGowen
Looking through a window pane
Standing in the pouring rain
Meaningless gadgets catch my eye
Then lust ignites and later I cry
How I’ve wasted precious time
They’re starting to avoid you
Failure defines you
And you don’t know what to do
A sip won’t ease the rain
A look won’t stop the pain
It’s time to start something new
Late again, I wonder why
Then the truth burns inside
I thought I would have
Everything I need
If I built a world formed of
My own dreams
But alas, no peace I find
They’re starting to avoid you
Failure defines you
And you don’t know what to do
A sip won’t ease the rain
A look won’t stop the pain
It’s time to start something new
And even if I called the world my own
I’d lose my base, my very mortal soul
The king won’t avoid you
The savior can define you
And He knows just what to do
He’ll stand there in the rain
He’ll ease every pain
And, He makes all things new.
