letra de o - jeremiah bligen

verse 1:
waking early in the morning
hit the h-rn
hoping from inside of the house i hear it go off
because all our cupboards are low, and all this money we owe
every day it ain’t towed, is manna from god
spot to spot, suit and tie
and i have applied to
like a thousand jobs over and under qualified
still nothing’s opening up
i’m hot and sweating, the sun
is beaming down now, it’s summertime 2009

lord knows that i’m tired
know my wife is a fighter
it’s wearing on us
hope her love tears through this attire
and god’ll bring us through
grow us closer with peace
not strife as struggle in marriage tends to do
and he did it
with closed doors hitting
god walked me in a building that was fulfillment of a vision
that i had years vintage
if i got that last job
wouldn’t have went
and missed what he was preparing me for

hook:
so if you ever feel stuck and can’t move
and even when you try your legs get bruised
and all the options exhausted, darkness looms
doubt, worry, and anxiety starts to bloom
though victory seems far, you trust in god
knowing he’s working for our good, keep pressing on
no, you are not alone, just shun those lies
even when life’s down on you, it’s worth the fight

life is a field full of laughter and hurt
e-i, e-i, e-i, o
but know that every second is a seed in the dirt
e-i, e-i, e-i, o
mistakes are never wasted, even waste has worth
e-i, e-i, e-i, o
so live, plow on, in light and love and know that
–e–ach & –i–n –e–very –i–nstant –e–xists –i–nstruction, –o–h

verse 2:
i learned to never take a paycheck for granted
maximize wherever i am, take advantage
of every season, even with its restrictions
and peace is not contingent on blissful conditions
an ethic of effort’s the engine, wisdom’s the belt
dying to pride is an end in and of itself
when your spouse is your best friend, those tough times tender
mistakes can be fertilizer for good or to injure

so for every decision that was made without seeking the book
for that timeshare offer we shouldn’t have took
and those shiny new pots that we shouldn’t have copped
and the line of credit we opened but shouldn’t have got
every relationship that may have meant well at first
and ended up in the sewer after showing its worth
every premature leap and delayed comply
and everything we thought we wanted but was denied
every prayer for a child that’s finding their way
and every tear for loved ones that p-ssed away
all of the choices that were made out of selfish ambition
all of the missed targets, failed ammunition
keep shooting, we’re being rooted in him
grace to the foolish, buffoonish
hardened-heart hooligan
mercy melting all of it down to be molded to him
whether its stop, drop, and roll or stop and frisk
oh, we in the fire, and there’s a lesson
if we ain’t learning, we losing
ain’t living, we dead
alive but ain’t dying, we judas
we students, and know our failures ain’t denied graduation
we walking upon his merits
so there’s no condemnation for those in christ
rebuke whatever says otherwise
even if that voice of d-mnation is coming from inside
every single moment taken, thrown into the pot
stewed together just right for the glory of god
our lord

bridge:
and when our bells gets rung
we will put our fists up
round for round
knocked down, we will get up
in every trial his name we will lift up
standing firm, like lawyers
and when some things arise
to stifle and hinder
remember the suffering here won’t compare to
the glory revealed in christ
fight the doubt
rejoice in each day
abide in his love
