Flame - Wars of the Mind
(from the album Rewind)
© copyright 2006, Cross Movement
Verse 1: Sometimes I feel like Moses man I just want to run
to Midian/ just to change my state but not the state where
my city’s in/ but my state of mind/ look for a sign like
Gideon/ cause my faith is wavering I’m forsaking dependence
again/ you took me from Egypt just to make me a leader/ but
like Moses I’m not an eloquent speaker/ I’m not eloquent
either/ not before nor after you’ve spoken/ me in ministry
you’ve gotta be jokin’/ I feel like Jeremiah/ here are my
bones Lord and here is my fire/ I’m inadequate to represent
the messiah/ call me the weepin’ rapper/I read a chapter
then I’m heapin’ up laughter/ because I’m weak and I can see
the disaster of me in ministry/ I feel Job I curse the day
of my birth/ since I was born its only payin’ me hurt/ my
insecurities worse/ sometimes I wish that that night was
barren/ either that or Lord send me an Aaron
Verse 2: This song is for you my sisters and brothers who
strugglin’ with depression/ not just the blues but a
struggle with depression/ maybe it’s clinical and got you
taking medicine/ or maybe not but you taking counseling
session and/ that’s excellent/ take your medicine/ if you
need it cause this is pleasin’ to Jesus/ I write this song
for the schizophrenic/ who only gets left alone and throne
in a hospital only to panic/ and whose family doesn’t
understand/ so they treat you like an animal but never would
the Son of Man/ for those who ask what’s going inside of me/
who feels bound by fear bound by anxiety/ I write to you
because I know the/ very God who’s in control of bipolar/ I
write to those who wrestle with thoughts of suicide/ don’t
do it cause Jesus loves you for you He died
Hook:(J.R.)
For every tear that you cry for all of the wars in your mind
and the fears that you hide know that He’s there know that
He’s walking with you I know that it’s hard to press on when
the nights seem so long remember His word is your hope so
know that He cares know that He’s walking with you
Verse 3: The core problem is that Adam sinned/ and since
then to now its 8 out of 10/ women and men and children who
struggle with depression/ especially house wives and
preachers they’re people who struggle with depression/ I
write this song for that introverted/ insecure person that’s
training his thoughts into thinking he’s worthless/ God made
you/ God can save you/ in everything you can give Him
worship/ you’re not worthless/ Lord I pray for the mentally
ill/ that in your ministry you mentally heal/ those who
suffer with it/ if not now then you eventually will heal
your children that are mentally ill/ for now they suffer
with it/ give us the strength just deal with your will/
because we sinners and we wrestle with it/ just like Job did
it/ I write this song for those who were sexually abused/
lookin’ for weaponry to use seek Jesus
