Jered Sanders Strangers (feat. Sean C. Johnson)
[Verse 1: Jered Sanders]
Dear God
You probably not as proud as you used to be
Probably not as much as you deserve either
I done cried enough tears for the both of us
And the soul ain't talking like reserve sneakers
But you looking and you seeing all my hurt features
Blood shot eyes and bags of luggage
A couple half cocked smiles
And the laughs ain't as loud as they used to be
Probably got half the ruffage
And the love ain't the same no more hard to fake it
When the cuts from the pain so pure
Tried to shake it but the vows
Ain't the same as it was when I said them
I know I let you down
And I'm feeling like I let'em
Get the best of me, Your Glory I need it all
To see your face, To hear your call
I need your grace, I'm feeling small
God give me the faith to receive it all
Cause my soul need prayer like a lung need air
I made this whole record cause I been in a bind
Where the fridge won't as hefty but the lunch meat there
If I turn the telly on it's a Trump speech, eeh
I toss paper around like the grunch ain't rare
Got a baby on the way got a hunched we shared
So I'm writing this song
And while I'm riding the night rail
Glad you took the cross and the cat of the nine tails
[Chorus: Sean C. Johnson]
Can we be strangers?
Can we start this all over again
Lord with you I don't need no more friends
Can you make me all over again
Oh again
[Verse 2: Jered Sanders]
I struggle lookin like the true church
Be in the world so much a brother too hurt
Wasn't looking to Yeshua for the true worth
And living all apologetic I ain't talk without a
Hashtag Dog It's all pathetic trying to relate
Rolling with my own will like I'm trying to skate
Planning all my days out me and God on a date
Trying to figure out the time and the place To set aside
A little borrowed time, plenty on today
But tomorrows fine I been calling a rain
Check so much probably be a meteorologist
Giving me a decree I struggle to follow it but
I learned to never gain a pound if I swallow the pride
Promise to live good if I follow the tribe of
Judah died to give hope
Signed sealed delivered in a promissory note
[Chorus: Sean C. Johnson]
Can we be strangers?
Can we start this all over again
Lord with you I don't need no more friends
Can you make me all over again
Oh again
[Verse 3: Jered Sanders]
And Dear God I pray
That in this mean time with all my faith
I'm a hold my fam down and all my peeps
And even if its some Top Ramen
And all our plates is plastic Uh
And with all our grace
Please spare me to get by
And all I chase will be your glory
Hope you send down a little extra
Every once in a while And if not
I'm a run to the vowel cause uh
I'm pressing to mark for the prize of it
Even if it mean a brother got to die from it
Live in 85 in July being humble
But now I see the prize coming
Cause you done gon blessed a brother with another child
That's one less escape route after running wild
But I'm a cherish every blessing that you ever give
Cause you the only one forgiving every time I slipped
Jesus
[Chorus: Sean C. Johnson]
Can we be strangers?
Can we start this all over again
Lord with you I don't need no more friends
Can you make me all over again
Oh again
[Bridge: Jered Sanders]
Yo
You don't always give me what I want
But always tell it like it is
And I ain't trying to hit them with a front
I just want to tell them that you live
You don't always give me what I want
But always tell it like it is
Cause I done been quite a lost cause
But you always faithful to forgive
[Outro]
God's looking at some of you
Who are probably feeling like Gomer going
Man I messed up my life. You gave me every opportunity
I messed up you'll never want me back."
And God says, "no, even though you were faithless
I've remained faithful I still want you."
"Will forget about everything that just happened
All that you've done I want you back."
