There are groanings here too deep for words There's a certainty in the absurd And it holds us when we can't feel held And it reaches to our darkest hell Well, I drove my way past Ragged Point Numb from all that I had seen destroyed Since our family happened on this stone But now I drive the 1 alone Oh, I tried to pray But all that came was "Jesus" Well, the Word I hold remains unread For the fire that burns within my head When I just can't choke down the bread Can you tell me what is left? Still, the Word I read's been reading me And His promises are feeding me Long enough to keep me breathing As I collapse within the cleft Of all I couldn't change And all I could get out was "Jesus" And that's all I need to say
