try as i might

Try as I might,
I can't seem to make myself feel full
No matter what I grab onto,
It doesn't stop the pull;
Oh my soul its yours, I can't deny
Your kingdom's in my bones,
And how my strength, it fails me
When Im low before your throne.
But Is your love enough for me?
Is your love enough?
Oh I'm asking all the questions
In the night, my mind is rough.

Try as I might,
I can't seem to pray and feel it's good
No matter how I spend my days,
I don't spend em' like I should.
Questioning my motives,
My devotion is a chore
But I'm starting to believe
I'm gettin' closer to your shore...
Is my love enough for you?
Is my love enough?
Can I grow into my praise
An Inheritance of honest stuff?

Can I drink enough, can I fight enough,
Can I make enough noise
Can I drive so far away just to drown out your voice?
Can I even find myself
At the bottom of the sea,
And drowning, find your hand there
Reaching in for me.

You reached into death for me.
