Even When I Don’t
By Jacob Brandon (JDBrand Music)
(Verse 1)
Sometimes I’m ashamed,
Sometimes I hide behind excuses that are lame.
Sometimes I feel like a fraud
When I come before my God,
So many lies are runnin’ through my brain.
(Verse 2)
Sendin’ up prayers that feel so hollow,
Is my heart really even in it at all?
A spiritual war over who I’ll follow,
Feels like I’m finished before I fall.
(Pre-Chorus)
When the world tells me to run away,
And my flesh keeps sayin’, “Not today,”
I listen for the still, small voice
That tells my heart to stay.
(Chorus)
Even when I don’t… feel like prayin’,
I bend my knee and bow,
To the One who gave His life upon the cross
And rose up from the ground.
Even when I don’t,
Even when I don’t,
Even when I don’t… feel like prayin’.
(Verse 3)
Got a little dust on my Bible,
Gonna wipe it clean today.
This road I’m on ain’t goin’ nowhere,
‘Cause my feet have gone astray.
(Pre-Chorus 2)
When the world tells me to run away,
And my flesh keeps sayin’, “Not today,”
I listen for the still, small voice
That tells my heart to stay.
(Chorus)
Even when I don’t… feel like prayin’,
I bend my knee and bow,
To the One who gave His life upon the cross
And rose up from the ground.
Even when I don’t,
Even when I don’t,
Even when I don’t… feel like prayin’.
(Bridge)
This war inside keeps fightin’ me,
My sin and flesh won’t let me be.
But deep inside, my heart still longs
To know the Lord, to trust His way.
To worship Him, to still obey
The One who bled and paid my debt.
(Final Chorus)
Even when I don’t… feel like prayin’,
I bend my knee and bow,
To the One who gave His life upon the cross
And rose up from the ground.
Even when I don’t,
Even when I don’t,
Even when I don’t… feel like prayin’.
Outro (Spoken / Sung – Soft, Reflective)
(Music strips back)
Even when my words run dry,
And my faith feels worn somehow,
I still come just as I am…
And I bow.
