Verse 2
Bm
Whatever it is that gives that feeling
that we can't live without
G
The joys we try to get that only
God can give we highly doubt
Bm
What allures and arouses the heart
we can't figure out
G
But it's the quickest way to account for
what we prize and are most proud about
Em
These "gods" make promises
but always lie to us
C
The kind of lies that says they'll keep
us safe and satisfy us
Bm
We blame the lies outside of us
G
But it's the lie that lies inside that captures the
Bm
depth of desires and false messiahs
We seek pleasure in anything,
G
we overestimate everything
Endlessly trusting in empty entities
Em
Secretly searching for anything
in moments of blessing
C
While exiting edicts of Eden
over our ecstasy
Bm
When a good God gives good gifts we
generally tend to twist the list
G
And take the list of good gifts that God tends
to give and make general "gods" out of gifts
Bm
I suppose what exposes the
worship in most of us
G
Is a close look at most of our thoughts,
Bm
Em
fears, and emotions
Verse 3
No matter what I do
D
I can't ever make it last
I'm so broken
Em
So much I thought I knew
G
All the things that I pursued
D
A
I'm worse off than before
G

Verse 4
G
I can't always rely on my desires
But I treat them like the Messiah
Bm
I can't always rely on my
D
G
desires
D
But I treat them like the Messiah
Verse 5
Bm
The saddest fact is that
I search for satisfaction
G
As if I lack it when in fact
I lack nothing
Bm
That's the reason for my lackluster
prayer life
G
And my lust for distractions,
it's so easy to see in hindsight
Em
I must confess it's the mess I
acknowledge when I'm
C
Cdim
Stalling on my responsibilities and don't apologize,
Like my physical exhaustion is a
Bm
And speaking recklessly without caution
I often wonder,
G
why I'm so awkward in conversations
Wishing I could switch places,
But my envy is a reflex
of my ignorance
C
'Cause I don't know the details
of their daily existence
Bm
I just assume the weight I carry
is the heaviest
G
But I've never been a heavweight
Bm
My legs get heavy when I wait
Hope deferred so I prefer the immediate
G
And exchange the true God
Bm
for what seems more expedient
Verse 6
It's meaningless
Bm
G
I can't always rely on my desires
But I treat them like the Messiah
Verse 7
But I treat them like the Messiah
D
Help us not be haste when it comes
to temporal blessings
G
And always see them for what
they're actually meant to be
Your love and kindness
G
Extended to an undeserved humanity
D
Help us not see greater value
in the gifts You give
And not become distracted
G
from their intended desires
Em
D
May we regard the world
and all that is in it
As nothing compared to
G
the satisfaction of knowing
Our Messiah
D
