Forever Evermore from BAPTIZED I by JoJo Worthington

Morning
There’s the sense of dread again
I pull myself out of bed
And knock at your door
I lay it all down before you
My knuckles start getting bruised
How long lord, how long

Cause the pens out of ink
And the coffee is cold
And the rivers frozen over
How do you use a heart of stone
When even the St. Lawrence river still flows
In the middle of the winter
How long do I keep knocking, Lord

As a deer pants
In search of water
I search for my Father
With all that I have
Oh why, soul
Why are you so downcast
And always so quick to forget
The truths you were told

Cause the pens out of ink
And the coffee is cold
And the rivers frozen over
How do you use a heart of stone
When even the St. Lawrence river still flows
In the middle of the winter
How long do I keep knocking, Lord

Though the fig tree won’t bud
No fruit on the vines
And the barn stalls are all empty
I will tread upon this suffering
I will wait for the mountain to fall in the sea
I will fly upon the eagle
I will shelter underneath His wings
And together in flight he’ll make me soar
Over that frozen river
Into forever evermore
