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...
