Stephanie

(Album: For More Than A Feeling - 2011)

She strums her guitar
The rosewood is stained with the tears from her eyes
Her phone said "20 missed calls"
She didn't realize she's been crying all night

She said she's too young
Always rushed to get older
Now she's running out of time
Don't wanna believe the doctor's orders
Just awhile ago things were fine

Stephanie... beautiful, beautiful Stephanie
She smiles for the world
Though she knows that sometimes life's not fair
Stephanie, stronger than anyone thought she'd be
She closes her eyes
Lifts her head to the skies
Lord, are you there?
Are you there?
Are you there?

She keeps a diary of all that she feels
and hides from the world all her pain
She's speaking to Jesus
Though, she doesn't know
Whether to trust or to blame
She faces a wall and just wants to get over
But her body is too tired to climb
Rest in His arms and cry on His shoulders
The battle is not yours to fight

Stephanie...beautiful, beautiful Stephanie
She smiles for the world
Though she knows that sometimes life's not fair
Oh, Stephanie... stronger than anyone thought she'd be
She closes her eyes
Lifts her head to the skies
Lord, are you there?

I don't know the answers to all of my questions
Why this had to happen to me
But my heart is trusting in you
Can you set me free?

Stephanie...beautiful, beautiful Stephanie
You smile for the world
Though you know that sometimes life's not fair
Oh, Stephanie...stronger than anyone thought she'd be
She closes her eyes
Lifts her head to the skies
Lord, are you there?

I am here
I've been here
My child, my child I've been here
I'll never leave you
Nor forsake you
I feel your pain
I've been here
