Timothy Brindle
The Intercession
[Verse 1]
The pain she feels makes me squeal
It deeply grieves me, I pray You heal
Her strife that seems cancerous
Her soul cries out to You, please answer it
Confused by illusions and she's depressed
Her feelings are too deep, they can't be expressed
By sinful words, she knows she needs You Lord, but feels trapped by her sinful urge
She writes the dopest poetry
While crying her thoughts, her emotions spoke to me
Battered and bruised and torn and scraped
Shattered, abused and thorned and raped
Splattered and used and scorned and ripped apart
I failed when I tried to stitch her heart
But You're the Great Physician
You make incisions, so I pray for her and I have faith You'll listen

[Hook: Jas Knight]
Hear her prayer, O LORD
And give ear to her cry
Do not be silent at her tears

[Verse 2]
Our love was so deep, I knew she was right
To soon be my wife
Then she introduced me to Christ
Lord! You allowed her to bring me to You
You found her first when I was bound by dirt
Then she bounced to the air-force in Texas
Where dreams get re-enforced of a Porsche or Lexus
By the time I was baptized she would backslide
Then she started drinking mad wine
Now she's convinced that it all was a waste
That You used her for me and that she's fallen from grace
And everyday she's stressed and aching
Thinking her destination is reprobation
So now I simply plead and intercede
'Cause my sister needs to be stripped and freed
Of her sickness and her sin and greed
Show her Jesus, that's why You were sent to bleed
[Hook: Jas Knight]
Hear her prayer, O LORD
And give ear to her cry
Do not be silent at her tears

[Verse 3]
I was gonna ask her to marry me
But after three years, I broke up with this African Cherokee
I never thought we'd break and split
But for the sake of Christ, I gave up the relationship
I felt like a piece of me broke
I couldn't breathe, I would choke
But Jesus! You were the reason I coped
She was my dreams and my hope
But what grieved me the most is that we were unequally yoked
Now every night I stay on face
To embrace the Savior and I pray her pain is erased
Give her the bread that You are at Your supper
Heal her! She thinks she's been created to suffer
But You're near to those who call on Your name
In truth, so please take away all of her pain
She seeks and swims to search for peace within
But she'll never find it being deep in sin
She thinks she's out-sinned Your grace
With a thousand mistakes
Show her how sin's erased
By taking her to the scene of the Cross
Where You bleeded a lot, so she could be easily washed
Jesus, she sees that she's lost
So leave Your others and return this lost sheep to Your flock
Take control, You're the everlasting Master
Just save her soul, I don't even have to have her
