Reason for the Rising - Halftime

If I asked you
What you think of me
Tell me what the first three words gonna be
God knows that I'm trying to leave a legacy
Sometimes its so hard just to break free
From the Old Man
From the same sin
Still seems like the enemy is gonna win
Just when I'm think I'm out
I'm getting puled back in
Got a hard heart
Under thin skin
But I know that your Word is the Truth
And I know that your promises will never let me down
From the present to the years of my youth
Yeah you call me to the deep but you never let me drown
But how many times will you let me play games
Keep abusing your grace
Till you leave me for the flames
Want to love what you love
But my hearts gotta change
Lord please don't leave me the same

When the world stops and looks at me
Everybody thinks I'm doing fine
But I'm not half of who you made me to be
They're looking in from the outside
This prodigal has stumbled and fell
So many years so much wasted time
But Lord you know I want to finish well
But the clock is ticking and it's halftime

Yeah its halftime
And I've been coasting
You couldn't tell by the way I've been posting
I love Jesus
But is it showing
Besides the memes that keep my Instagram flowing
Surface level
Just where the devil
Wants me
Taunts me
Says I'm better as a rebel
But Jesus you don't ever want me to settle
Like boosting the bass without losing the treble
But when it comes to the heart of the matter
And everybody else scatters
Lord I want to be standing
Want to take a giant leap in my faith
And never hesitate though I don't know where I'm landing
But double minded me keeps stalling
The pleasures of this world keep calling
And put me back to sleep
I'm so easily distracted
I'm kept inactive
Lord put the fire under my feet

When the world stops and looks at me
Everybody thinks I'm doing fine
But I'm not half of who you made me to be
They're looking in from the outside
This prodigal has stumbled and fell
So many years so much wasted time
But Lord you know I want to finish well
But the clock is ticking and it's halftime

Stuck here in this desert place
You provide a way out if I seek your face
But who am I to even approach your gates
Child don't be afraid
Deep down in this grave I'm digging
All the errors of my ways and this dirty living
How could this all possibly be forgiven
You're debt I've already paid
But Jesus I don't understand
Don't you see what a sinful man I am
I'm a shipwrecked soul in sinking sand
You're never too far away
Your love for me is so perfect
Lord I'll never deserve it
My life is yours please use it
Lord have your way

When the world stops and looks at me
Everybody thinks I'm doing fine
But I'm not half of who you made me to be
They're looking in from the outside
This prodigal has stumbled and fell
So many years so much wasted time
But Lord you know I want to finish well
But the clock is ticking and it's halftime
The clock is ticking and it's halftime
The clock is ticking and it's halftime
The clock is ticking and it's halftime
Yeah the clock is ticking and it's halftime
