Taste & See (feat. Praise Lubangu)

I'll take my shame and take my grief

Lay it at my saviour's feet

I found the grace that's changing me,

I'm breaking free, I'll taste and see

Taste and see, tase and see

They say "keep calm and carry on"

I say read the psalms and tarry, son

If you want pastures green and streams as still as Avion

Sometimes you gotta rage against machine

And write your lyrics by the rivers of Babylon

You gotta name what’s wrong

Sometimes I feel like a motherless child and bastard son

Sometimes I feel like I’m the only one left after the raptures come

And estranged to myself and i can’t face all I’ve done

Sometimes I chase validation until my face feels numb

Sometimes I feel like I’m a vacant slum

Sometimes I know I’m that breaking but say I’m strong

Sometimes I fake it with the fig leaves and the stage I'm on

Sometimes I trade trade my birthright for a plate of lunch

Sometimes I take what isn’t mine like I’m Jacob mum

Sometimes I leave the table just to taste the crumbs

Somtimes I’m enslaved to shame and I'm afraid of love

Sometimes you gotta forsake answers

For ancient songs,

And take of your mask before your days are done

And take your grief in jars of alabaster grease

And break it at the feet of the only God who ain’t too weak to weep along

We’re all doubters son

But sometimes you gotta be the fool and dance along

Stop thinking about saving face

Naked and disgraced

Pouring out your heat like David

When he raised a song

I sought the Lord, and he answered me;

He delivered me from all my fears.

Those who look to him are radiant;

Their faces are never covered with shame.

So I will bless him at all times his praise shall always be on my lips

Oh, magnify his name

I said magnify his name

I'll take my shame and take my grief

Lay it at my saviour's feet

I found the grace that's changing me,

I'm breaking free, I'll taste and see

Taste and see, tase and see
