Lament - Tim Be Told cover

This is my piano rendition of Tim Be Told's song, Lament. I have found a strong connection to this song for various reasons. This song may put people off initially because it says things that you would not expect from a Christian artist. He questions God's character, motives, and actions in the midst of pain and struggles, yet at the end he finds some solace. I encourage you that if you are going through a rough patch in life, to let God know how you are feeling...honestly. David did it all the time in the Psalms. Then take heart and trust that God will bring you through.

This cover was done completely by ear. I wrote a chord chart for it. If you would like a copy, message me your email and I can send it.

Lament - Tim Be Told

You say You are jealous
You say You are kind
But the 'jealous part' seems to win all the time
If You're so mighty, why do you break
The weak and the weary, and steal what they make

You say You're forgiving
That You'll not forsake
But You punched me out when I made a mistake
I try to find beauty in the mess that You made
But You just stayed angry and never forgave

Yes, I know You are great
But is a bad God better than none?
How much more will it take to undo the damage that You have done?
'Cause the wicked and wayward continue to thrive
And the martyrs continue giving their lives
Oh, the faithful never never survive
Oh, the faithful never never survive

You're the almighty, so I am afraid
You crushed me to pieces, then stole what I made
If this hopeless delusion is a righteous man's fate
I don't know how much more I can take

Yes, I know You are great
But is a bad God better than none?
How much more will it take to undo the damage that You have done?
'Cause the wicked and wayward continue to thrive
And the martyrs continue giving their lives
Oh, the faithful never never survive
Oh, the faithful never never survive

God are You listening?
Please hear my cry
I don't really believe You're more cruel than You're kind
But I'm getting tired of repeating this line
That the faithful never survive

Yes, I know You are great
That You're a good God, and You are love
How much more will it take to undo the damage that I have done?
Please conquer these demons and the darkness inside
Shine Your light on this poor heart of mine
Maybe my faith will survive
Maybe my faith will survive
Maybe my faith will survive
