Lyrics & Translation

[English]

When I'm overwhelmed within

From the weight of all my sin

I need a friend to call my own

I need a house to call my home

When I'm broken down inside

And there's nowhere else to hide

I need a place where I feel known

Can someone help me?

Then I hear you reply

Bringing teardrops to my eyes

Saying I'm not alone

Oh Lord I need you now

More than ever

Would you put my heart back together?

I searched the world

'Till my head hurt

Just to find out Your way's better

Oh-oh

Your way's better

Oh-oh

Your way's better

Oh Lord

Your way's better

Jesus, Your way's better

Lord, I am so thankful for the ways that You've blessed me

Everything You say makin' waves like a jetski

You loved every part of me even when I was messy

Now I see the art in Your beauty, so I can finally sing out

Jehova Jireh, Provider

Your way always gets me higher

Even on my darkest days, You're a lighter

My Messiah

Oh Lord I need you now

More than ever

Would you put my heart back together?

I searched the world

'Till my head hurt

Just to find out Your way's better

Oh-oh

Your way's better

Oh-oh

Your way's better

Oh Lord

Your way's better

Jesus, mmm

Lord, I need you now

More than ever

Would you put my heart back together?

I searched the world

'Till my head hurt

Just to find out Your way's better

Oh-oh

Your way's better

Oh-oh

Your way's better

Oh Lord

Your way's better

Jesus, Your way's better

Oh-oh-oh-oh, Your way's better

Oh-oh-oh-oh, Your way's better

Oh-oh-oh-oh, Your way's better

Mmm (Jesus, Your way's better)

It's better, better, better (Oh-oh-oh-oh, Your way's better)

It's better, better, better (Oh-oh-oh-oh, Your way's better)

It's better, better, better (Oh-oh-oh-oh, Your way's better)

It's better than the rest (Your way's better)
