When I was younger
When I was younger
A memory, by Joel Howard
A memory, by Joel Howard
When I was younger
I would move away
I'd leave behind friends
I'd throw them away
Or friends would move onward
And no longer be true
When I was younger
This is what would they would do
When I was younger
And I'd constantly move
When I was younger
And I'd constantly move
Entering the next season
I'd quietly go blank
I'd hide in a corner
My gut inside would sink
I'd look at my parents
And brothers alike
To take the first lead
I would just be quiet
"Please take the first lead
And I'll just be quiet"
O Savior of all
Have mercy on me
I'm suffering Lord
My friends again leave
O Savior of all
Come resurrect me
I ask you for freedom
During this death of me
I ask you for resurrection
In this death of me
O Jesus so now
I am leaving again
I've left behind family
I've left behind friends
My wife calls me out
For simply not letting go
I need a Messiah
I need you dear Lord
I need you dear Jesus
I need you my Lord
O Savior of all
Have mercy on me
I'm suffering Lord
My friends again leave
O Savior of all
Come resurrect me
I ask you for freedom
During this death of me
I ask you for resurrection
In this death of me
I must be patient
Again must be patient
Spirit be patient with me
I must be patient
Again must be patient
Spirit be patient with me
Spirit be patient with me
Lord God show kindness on me
Lord Jesus show mercy on me!
Spirit be patient with me
Spirit be patient indeed
Lord God show kindness on me
Lord Jesus show mercy on me!
