"Name In Vain"

I haven't been much of a praying man
but as a child I would pray out loud
some things I've seen have sort of shut me up
somehow

some things that happened to the ones I loved
and looking further at the world itself
God, you better save a little punishment up
for hell

Lord,
sometimes it feels so good
to say your name
but it's in vain

You said you know that God could never give
a burden heavier than you could bear
but when I see you crumple under it
I'm so scared

I try to lift you help you get back up
I try to hold you as you try not to cry
the only thing I have to say to God
is why?

Lord,
sometimes it feels so good
to say your name
but it's in vain

Lord,
sometimes it feels so good
to say your name
in vain

Dear God I never thought that you weren't there
but somehow still I seem to have lost my faith
it's hard for me to believe you care
these days

She said you had to put her to the test
she said so far you're probably not impressed
I guess to you it probably all makes sense
it's all for the best

it's all
for
the best

Lord,
sometimes it feels so good
to say your name
but it's in vain

Lord,
sometimes it feels so good
to say your name
in vain
