Allen Thomas - Wasted Time Lyrics

Tried to lead by example
Not just talk in it
So when I pass on the mantle
Remember when I taught you this
Don't give into sin
No matter how good the offer is
Satan, he spun a web
And it looks like you've been caught in it
Seeds of faith
Were never sown in doubt
Marks on your throat
I can see where he choked you out
Hurt me to the core
These are the things that I told you about
I tried to stop it, but I couldn't
The tears are just flowing now
I just always wanted God's best for you
That's why I stress
To speak a blessing on you
To leave a legacy that you might have never known
Better to have your name written and set in stone
Never stopped believing for a miracle
Heaven comes down
That's when fear gots to go
I'm not scared
I know I need healing in my soul
It's faith over feelings
But it doesn't mean the feelings gone
Behind the scenes, it's still seen by me
Maybe I'll never mean to you
What you mean to me
I wipe my eyes, I'm feeling so weak
And through it all
There's still a need to reach
These thoughts seem to have stained my mind
It's like I've gone crazy inside
I just want to see you soar to great heights
But there's nothing worse than wasted time
Reaching in the depths of my soul
My deepest regrets buried below
It feels like the tears never slow
How do I carry on when I feel so low?
Wasted time
God, I wasted so much time
Caught up in things that only bring pain into my life
Chasing highs that escape into the sky
I heard that only You can change my life
Follow Christ's example
Laid out in the scripture
With the light of a candle
I can finally see the picture
There was a hole in my heart from the incision
Now that I'm whole in my heart
I can see a difference
Plant by faith
I'm still sowing seeds
Stand in place
No room for growing weeds
Realized I'm not alone in these streets
Cuz even Christ Himself is close and knows grief
At the place He was betrayed for a price
Lord, I'm so ashamed of my pride
Now I'm praying to stay aligned
I can't erase what's behind
He gave a new state in my mind
Changed me on the inside
Now I'm praying to stay aligned
So that I don't waste my life
Reaching in the depths of my soul
My deepest regrets buried below
It feels like the tears never slow
How do I carry on when I feel so low?
Wasted time
God, I wasted so much time
Caught up in things that only bring pain into my life
Chasing highs that escape into the sky
I heard that only You can change my life
Reaching in the depths of my soul
My deepest regrets buried below
It feels like the tears never slow
How do I carry on when I feel so low?
Wasted time
God, I wasted so much time
Caught up in things that only bring pain into my life
Chasing highs that escape into the sky
I heard that only You can change my life
My God, it feels
Like these tears never slow
Another page full of pain
I guess that's how the story goes
