Five years and nine months, Lord
It’s heavy on my soul tonight
Five years of walking down the path we chose
Nine months of shadows where the garden grows
I became a course, a lesson I can't read
Examining the pieces of the hearts that bleed
I gave You every season, every breath I drew
Now I’m standing in the silence asking what is true
Oh, the weight of a promise that the world tore apart
I’m holding the fragments of a broken heart
Five years and nine months, it’s written on my soul
I tried to build a temple, I tried to make us whole
But the foundation shifted, the ground began to shake
Lord, help me understand the path that I must take
Yes Lord, it’s hard to let go
Glory, even when the tears overflow
Was I just a study, a chapter in your life?
A temporary comfort in the middle of the strife?
I loved you with a mercy that I learned from His grace
But now I’m just a stranger in this empty place
I see the calendar hanging on the wall
Counting up the seconds since the final call
Praise Him for the memory, praise Him for the pain
I’m learning how to walk beneath this heavy rain
Five years and nine months, it’s written on my soul
I tried to build a temple, I tried to make us whole
But the foundation shifted, the ground began to shake
Lord, help me understand the path that I must take
Thank You Jesus, for the strength to stand
Hallelujah, I’m resting in Your hand
It’s a long road, an aching kind of view
Searching for the pieces where I’m missing You
Oh, give me the vision to see past the end
Teach me how to heal, teach me how to mend
Yes Lord, it’s a lesson in the light
Amen, through the darkness of the night
I release the record of the time we spent
I’m giving back the joy and the time that was lent
Five years and nine months, a season in the sun
I’m trusting in the work that is not yet done
My spirit is weary but my faith is still strong
I’m finding my rhythm in a brand new song
Five years and nine months, it’s written on my soul
I tried to build a temple, I tried to make us whole
But the foundation shifted, the ground began to shake
Lord, help me understand the path that I must take
Glory, to the One who knows my name
Yes Lord, He puts me back together again
Five years and nine months, I leave it at the gate
I’m turning to the altar, I’m choosing to wait
Thank You Jesus, for the peace in my soul
Amen, He makes me whole.
