Sticks and Stones

1. I’ve been awake for a while now.
It’s way too late to be thinking ’bout
All the careless things I’ve done wrong.
They see mistakes I’ve been making now,
But I’ve been trying to lay ’em down,
Haven’t been myself for so long.

[Chorus]
It’s been a while since I came to You.
I hope You love me no matter what I do.
I need somebody, a God to hold on to
Through all the highs and lows.
They’ve been throwing sticks and stones, oh.
I’ve been feeling so alone, oh.
I need someone to take control of
The way I live, like the way You did.
Yeah, I know that You can give me hope, and
You love me even when I’m broken.
You say You’ll never let me go, and
You light my road.
And You heal my soul
When they’re throwing their sticks and stones.

2. Got broken bones, and I’m feeling bruised.
Somehow I know You can get me through.
You’re the only cure for my pain.
And when I’m left here all on my own,
I know that You’re never gonna go,
And You’re gonna make it okay.

[Chorus]
It’s been a while since I came to You.
I hope You love me no matter what I do.
I need somebody, a God to hold on to
Through all the highs and lows.
They’ve been throwing sticks and stones, oh.
I’ve been feeling so alone, oh.
I need someone to take control of
The way I live, like the way You did.
Yeah, I know that You can give me hope, and
You love me even when I’m broken.
You say You’ll never let me go, and
You light my road.
And You heal my soul
When they’re throwing their sticks and stones.

You’re the only one that knows me.
You can see the whole thing.
And I know that You love me, too,
So I’m getting on my knees to make it right with You.
You’re the only one that knows me.
You can see the whole thing.
And I know that You love me, too.
I need You.

[Chorus]
They’ve been throwing sticks and stones, oh.
I’ve been feeling so alone, oh.
I need Your help to take control of
The way I live, like the way You did.
Yeah, I know that You can give me hope, and
You love me even when I’m broken.
You say You’ll never let me go, and
You light my road.
And You heal my soul
When they’re throwing their sticks and stones.
They been throwing sticks and stones.
