The first two verse are from a man struggling with his faith, and the final verse is from the perspective of God.
[Verse 1: J. Monty]
Tell me what is it gonna take Father?
Ain't tryna rush you, but how much longer I gotta wait Father?
I ain't looking for fame Father. It's just that nowadays I stay bothered
Least I want to do is feed my family and put some food on they plate Father
I been serving you for years now. Only thing I've earned is tears now
The devil wrote me up a great offer and I'm looking at this bill now
My soul ready to kneel down
At least my son'll think I'm a great father
Sometimes it's worse when you're middle class
Cause you don't make enough for meals and gas
But you make too much for government assistance Dad
Tell me are you listening Dad?
Ain't this why Jesus came in a distant past to identify on my kids behalf
Who's skipping baths so the water bill won't rise up?
I'm just trying to make a difference 'fore my time's up
Sometimes I feel like I don't even need You
I speak to people and tell 'em to please believe You while my faith is failing
God I need to see You!
[Hook]
Tell me can You see where I am?
I can't even breathe where I am
My heart is on my sleeve
I've been searching on my knees
But it's time for me to leave where I am
I don't wanna be where I am
I cannot believe where I am
This world is in a season where everybody's bleeding
Whoa
[Verse 2: J. Monty]
I would kill for the feelin'
Of not having bills to the ceiling
Searching Instagram for memes
That reveal how I'm feeling
I kneel for my healing, get up, see people killing and stealing
The ceiling is peeling. It's closing in, I feel the division
Killing our brothers God
For a meal and a color God
According to other countries, it's millions of other gods
And you're still undercover God
They're chopping Christians like lumber
Kids and their mothers
While you're sipping a cup, living it up
Chilling above us God
What about the promises You made to us?
Bout hopping in and saving us?
A lot of this is baby stuff
Your awesome fist could break it up, my optimistic days are up
I will not dismiss the Savior but, this world don't hear you
They hear what the politicians saying cause
The politicians here with us, and we can see 'em
And even though they probably lying, at least they're breathing
We've got no choice but to accept 'em, so we believe 'em
If there's a God of Earth and heaven
We need to see Him!
[Hook]
Tell me can You see where I am?
I can't even breathe where I am
My heart is on my sleeve
I've been searching on my knees
But it's time for me to leave where I am
I don't wanna be where I am
I cannot believe where I am
This world is in a season where everybody's bleeding
Whoa
[Verse 3: J. Monty]
Who is this that obscures My plans with words and no knowledge?
Who split water into three. liquid, gas, and a solid?
Who set the sun 93 million miles away from the Earth?
Who killed his Son so that you might escape from the curse?
Who knew you in the womb before you were a baby at birth?
Who made all of creation way too deep for angels to search?
Who made light on top of darkness and then made them disperse?
Who shaped the beauty of the human race from the dirt?
I'm splitting the curtain through
I deal with the worst in you
I defend the unworthy few
My wisdom unsearchable
My vision it burns for you
I live with eternal view
Here's an imminent certain truth, I intend to return to you
You said you wanna see me
Here I Am
Just take a second, look around you see how clear I Am
Don't you know I could never leave you, see how still I Am
The problem with this world is that nobody fears I Am
I Am
[Hook]
Tell me you can see that I Am
Know that you only breathe cause I Am
My Spirit is so grieved
I've been searching for a people
Who promise not to leave where I Am
You don't wanna be where I Am
Do you still believe that I Am?
This world has been redeemed through my Son who's ever bleeding whoa
I Am was written by J. Monty.
