Song : You Don’t
Artist: Jeremy Camp
Album: The Story’s Not Over
Writer: Jordan Sapp / Jeremy Camp / Emily Weisband / Martin Santiago / Miranda Fernando
No, I don’t have to be afraid
Oh, when the storm is in a rage
It won’t throw me around
‘Cause you’re my solid ground
When I seek you
You alone are my strength
Earth shakes, hearts break
Things change, life fades away
But you don’t, you don’t, you don’t
(Oh O O)
Days end, stars burn
Out like, men lie, kings die
But you don’t, you don’t, you don’t
(Oh O O)
You don’t, you don’t, you don’t
(Oh O O)
The world is pulling me apart
When I am treading in the dark
When my feet feeling bound
When I need to be found
That’s when I remember who you are
Earth shakes, hearts break
Things change, life fades away
But you don’t, you don’t, you don’t
(Oh O O)
Days end, stars burn
Out like, men lie, kings die
But you don’t, you don’t, you don’t
(Oh O O)
You don’t, you don’t, you don’t
(Oh O O)
Yeah, You’re the king of kings
In control of everything
My sin doesn’t make you afraid
Your love doesn’t change
I’ve spent most of my life just trying to run away
But you never gave up and quit
That’s why I’m here today
And every day I get it wrong
I need all of your grace
You took the shackles off my feet
I’m no longer a slave
Stop protecting what’s hurting
You can’t heal if you run
I’m getting better every day
When I rest in your love
And I’m moving at the pace that you graced for me
Used to be ashamed, but you took all the blame for me
When the storms came you covered me from the raging sea
Inside of the secret place you made for me
You stayed with me
Earth shakes, hearts break
Things change, life fades away
But you don’t, you don’t, you don’t
(Oh O O)
Days end, stars burn
Out like, men lie, kings die
But you don’t, you don’t, you don’t
(Oh O O)
You don’t, you don’t, you don’t
(Oh O O)
