"Freaks"

It seems I can't see past my afflictions, that my burden is too great
That this gift called life is hurtful, and is more than I can take
Often times I'm alone, and more often misunderstood
It's so hard to see Your face, and to do the things I should
Why this cage of blood and bone? Forced to play charades
With a cold world filled with people who have given in to hate
Yeah, so I act a little crazy and I cloak myself with night
But I'm not too far gone to see that I'm still burning with Your light
So, why Lord are You with me? Can't You see the wretch I am?
Why does the Lord of All stay by me when I'm rejected by all men?
How is it You share Your love with me? All I can give You is my heart,
Which is a hurt and broken thing that is missing most its parts
You haven't left me yet, looks like You never will
So let a freak like me and God help this world take a bitter pill
Hey all you sane and normal folks who heap on me disdain
The Lord of heaven still loves you even though you curse His name
But He chose for Himself the weak ones that you revile and despise
If you're not following God's Son, then you're choking on Satan's lies
So I'm not that bad off it seems, I'm better off than quite a few
A lowly "freak" that's filled with Christ, "normal," who's filling you?
