[English]

It's souls over streams

Na na na na na na na

I feel I've been going crazy

Why does the world hate me

Devil in my ear, twisting scripture to persuade me

3AM, I'm praying to that one that made me

Calling out to Christ, cause he's the one that saved me

God I need you

God I need you

God I need you

I need you in my life

God I need you

I'm looking see-through

God I need you

Your son he paid the price

I'm feeling so alone

I can't take anymore

I wanna up and go

This world is not my home

I used to be afraid

Had to pray it away

I know to dies to gain, so I speak it unashamed

I'll let you take the old, give me the new

They wanna hate when I speak the truth

I got no opinion, it's all from you

And God I gotta tell you

I feel I've been going crazy

Why does the world hate me

Devil in my ear, twisting scripture to persuade me

3AM, I'm praying to that one that made me

Calling out to Christ, cause he's the one that saved me (Oh ya)

God I need you

God I need you

God I need you

I need you in my life

God I need you

I'm looking see-through

God I need you

Your son he paid the price

I was in the world playing both sides

Then I came back and I realized

Sin had me dead on the inside

The works don't save you can take the pride away

And the rainy days

I don't need the fame, cause my God gave me faith

Don't go, gotta know

Why does your love overflow

Why did you come and save me

I don't want sin no more, no more

I don't want sin no more

I feel I've been going crazy

Why does the world hate me (They hated you first)

Devil in my ear, twisting scripture to persuade me

3AM, I'm praying to that one that made me

Calling out to Christ, cause he's the one that saved me
