“Rhythm in the Noise (of Life)” by Patrick Ball

I see you standing there, holding up forbidden fruit
Wondering if I’ll cave in to you
You play your rock guitar, hold the amp up to my ear
Wanting me to crawl away in fear

Well I don’t need to take your candy
What don’t you understand?
God’s right here with me, I’m safe in his hands
And he’s shielding my ears, so that I don’t have to hear
All the lies you’ve told me through the years

I’m not ready to give up, not gonna let you win
Cause I know the damage that you do, and I won’t let you in
I’m not gonna stop my dance, or let you let you take my joy
I’ve got strength to rise and find the RHYTHM IN THE NOISE
OF LIFE

Stupid little devil always beating me down
Well, this is me, coming back around
You think you’ve got me down, you think I’ve lost my groove
Well, I’ve barely even began to move

Cause God is my metronome, with him I’ll keep on going
You can trip me up, but you won’t break the stone
I stand on


And I’m stronger than you know, cause with God I still grow
And through him I won’t even feel a blow
Won’t even feel a blow
No, no, NO, NO!

I’m not ready to give up, not gonna let you win
Cause I know the damage that you do, and I won’t let you in
I’m not gonna stop my dance, or let you let you take my joy
I’ve got strength to rise and find the RHYTHM IN THE NOISE
OF LIFE

Oh God, please come, won’t you help me
My heart is dead, isn’t beating
Oh, my lungs—I’m not breathing!
Lord I need you now
Oh God please come won’t you help me
Shock me! My heart, let it beat again
Breath of life, fill my body
Lord I need you now

I’m not ready to give up, not gonna let you win
Cause I know the damage that you do, and I won’t let you in
I’m not gonna stop my dance, or let you let you take my joy
I’ve got strength in Christ to find the RHYTHM IN THE NOISE
OF LIFE
