Even Though… © (Jan 2022)

A song based on Habakkuk 3:17-19, Psalm 46, Job 13:15

Even though I hide beneath the mountain

Even though I run across the sea

Even though I flee to farthest places

Yet the Lord comes after me

Even though the rain falls without ending

Even though the night never seems to end

Even though I shake my fist in anger

Yet the Lord still calls me friend

Even though my life seems empty

Even though it seems there is no plan

Even though I stumble in the darkness

Yet still He is the Great I AM

Yet still he is The One, The Only

Yet still He reigns supreme

Yet still his mercies never end

Still He is the Lord, the King

Even though I feel lost

Even though I despair in fear

Even though I have given up

Yet He says, “I am here.”

It is a choice, to yet believe

Even though it’s hard

It is a choice, to trust in God

The problem is my heart

Even though… yet I will

Even though… yet I must

Even though… yet I choose

Even though… yet I trust

So…

Even though I wonder

Even though I cry

Even though all seems lost

Yet still my God is right

Even though my dreams are dust

Even though I grow old and gray

Even though time passes by

Yet rejoicing is the only way

‘Rejoice’ is such a strong word

For I struggle to believe

Not in God’s existence

But in his love for me

But even though I broke his heart

By the ways that I have lived

Even though I truly missed the mark

Yet still my God forgives and gives

Even though he died for me

Yet still I’ve demanded more

But even though I’ve thought this way

Yet still he calls me home

Even though I struggle and strive

Even though I question and cry

Even though I demand what I think I am owed

Yet still he calls me to die

To die to myself, though I am afraid

To die to my fear, though I feel lost

To give up my hopes, my dreams, my plans

To die to my way, even though it will cost

Even though… yet I will

Even though… yet I must

Even though… yet I choose

Even though… yet I trust
