Terribly Alive
Terribly alive…
Oh I've been terribly alive
I will survive…
I will arrive done and dive
Into waters of His healing grace
If only I wasn't this disgrace
I pray I don't hide
For, He's by my side
Terribly alive
I have survived a strenuous storm (inside me)
I will survive
I am alone in my desolate dorm (silently)
Terribly alive
My voice isn't heard
From a thousand miles away
I'm like a silent bird
I've made several mistakes today
I've been led astray…
What can I say?
Father, I want to pray
Be thankful to You, for You're all-knowing
In every single way
I want to say before I get going
That I must endure
He will be by my side,
Despite my sinful nature
Need you to pray for me
To grow closer to Him
And no longer hide
Terribly alive…
Oh I've been terribly alive
I will survive…
I will arrive done and dive
Into waters of His healing grace
If only I wasn't this disgrace
Terribly alive
I have survived a strenuous storm (inside me)
I will survive
I am alone in my desolate dorm (silently)
Terribly alive
My voice isn't heard
From a thousand miles away
I'm like a silent bird
I've made several mistakes today
I've been led astray…
What can I say?
I'm not perfect and never will be, baby
You can't just set me free immediately
I'm a sinner and I admit it wholeheartedly
I already told you to accept me...
Forgive me…
Have mercy…
Terribly alive…
Oh I've been terribly alive
I will survive…
I will arrive done and dive
Into waters of His healing grace
If only I wasn't this disgrace
Terribly alive
I have survived a strenuous storm (inside me)
I will survive
I am alone in my desolate dorm (silently)
Terribly alive
My voice isn't heard
From a thousand miles away
I'm like a silent bird
I've made several mistakes today
I've been led astray…
What can I say?
I've been buried alive and somewhat well
I'm living a heaven in this hell I'm in
So caught up in my solitary cell
I'm dying due to my abominable sin
I can change if I need to change,
So let me be...free…
In the darkness, I feel strange
So let me be...free...
Terribly alive…
Oh I've been terribly alive
I will survive…
I will arrive done and dive
Into waters of His healing grace
If only I wasn't this disgrace
Terribly alive
I have survived a strenuous storm (inside me)
I will survive
I am alone in this desolate dorm (silently)
Terribly alive
My voice isn't heard
From a thousand miles away
I'm like a silent bird
I've made several mistakes today
I've been led astray...
What can I say?
Terribly alive…
Oh I've been terribly alive
I will survive…
I will arrive done and dive
Into waters of His healing grace
If I can just not be this disgrace
I will run His remarkable race
Success is what I'll embrace
Someday...somehow…
Lord, show me how...
Terribly alive
I have survived a strenuous storm (inside me)
I will survive
I am alone in my desolate dorm (silently)
Terribly alive
My voice isn't heard
From a thousand miles away
I'm like a silent bird
I've made several mistakes today
I've been led astray…
What can I say?
I've been terribly alive
I'm buried alive
But, I will survive
I want to live life day by day
With God by me I pray
Without this horrid pride
I need you to pray for me
To grow closer to the Lord
And no longer hide
Terribly alive
I've been terribly alive in sadness
I will survive
So, don't deprive me of happiness
I will rise above the ashes
Of my past decisions...
