Tumultuous Days

Tumultuous Days
(Jacob R. McGowen)

[1st Verse]
Shopping for groceries with no money to spare
Fill up for gas can’t barely get anywhere
While leaders laugh and they don’t seem to care
About who’s drowning right here
Or of who’s suffering there
Oh, I toss and turn at night
I can’t even sleep
All of this anxiety is crippling me
If You’re still there, oh Lord, do You even hear
As I cry and I plead, as I beg and I sing

[Chorus]
Lord, I’m getting tired of these tumultuous days
One minute I am con-fi-dent
The next I’m afraid
Won’t you fill me and
Daily increase my faith
And counsel me through every storm
The wind and the rain
And counsel me through every storm
The wind and the rain

[2nd Verse]
Wars are occurring across the seas
City streets are overrun with criminal deeds
And soon there’ll be another new Commander in Chief
Who will win or will lose it remains to be seen
But somehow I still know that You have a plan
And that this whole world of nations still remains in Your hands
That all the powers of darkness shall be crushed in the end
But Lord, while I still am here, will You hear me again?

[CHORUS]

[Bridge]
Ev’ry treasure of earth will always be faulty
Ev’ry vice will never ever satisfy
Yet, throughout my life You have proven faithful
And You’re able to bring me all the way through

[Outro]
Whatever remains of these tumultuous days
Be it right up to the end or through a time of grace
You’ll carry me and You’ll help me complete my race
And I’ll give You all the glory
When I see You someday
And I’ll give You all the glory
When I see You someday
