For all those on the edge wanting to give up on life or ministry. Those who just would rather be in heaven or be dead

Story behind the song
I while back while still serving Christ I began to feel discouraged and thoughts of suicide crept in to my head, so I wrote a song to God called "I Question You." Afterward like God did Job, He told me to listen cuz He was about to speak. This song was His answer.
Lyrics
My child, I love you
I gave My life for you
I'd do anything for you
But all you ever say to me is...
Chorus...
Lord I wonder why I just wanna die
Lord I wonder why, just take my life right now
But I say, drip drip drop drop, tears hitting the ground
raining down from heaven as they fall upon your crown
In the midst of all your struggles, I stood right by your side
But you was lookin to your left when I was standin to your right
When the world was in your face you said,"my Lord, it's Your fault"
Like I was selfish with My love and kept it hidden in a vault
And you treat Me like a star, like I'm distant and afar
But I'm with you in the darkness, in the light, and where you are
Yes, it's Me, the One who's been forsaken
when you said I didn't love you, even though you were mistaken
That night you sat and cried, contemplatin suicide
I didn't let you die, I took your pain and made it Mine
And I held you in My arms when you couldn't say My name
I gave My life for you and I'd do it all again
And as I dangled from the cross, I felt the pain you've yet to feel
Yet you claim that you alone, sometimes doubt that I am real
Little boy dry your eyes, little girl shake your tears
Cuz I'm knockin at the door, let Me in, I want you near
You say I don't understand, you's a girl, I was a man
But when's the last time you had a nail thru your hand
Chorus(2X)...
You say Lord I wonder why I just wanna die
Lord I wonder why, Just take my life right now
I know you don't understand why the world's the way it is
as you try to spread the faith, but their attention they won't give
And you're growin weak and weary and you feel so all alone
Know I'm waitin for the signal so I can come and take you home
Every single prayer you've said, even those you have forgotten
I paid for them in red, by My blood they have been bought
And I don't hold you in contempt when you question Me
I simply lift the scales and I help you see
you cannot save the world or force My word in their hearts
But realize it's not hopeless when you prayin in the dark
My delight is in you and all the righteous things you do
And that strength that gets you thru when you think you gonna lose
It's Me making real what I said in Jeremiah
verse 29:11 as I lift you from the fire
in which you've been refined, purified, My holy nation
You're more than just a sinner, cuz you were My motivation
So I died and I cried and I didn't try to fight
And I leave to you My light and the Spirit that's inside
See, there's power in words, so won't you listen as I say
I judge how hard you try, I don't judge the number saved
Chorus(2X)...
I see ya searchin for solutions, contributin all you have
Yes, I care and I'm aware and I prepare a steady path
And there's a place upon My table with your name inscribed
So though you feel you're missing out, don't you pout, you're not deprived
You're alive by My grace, by the trials that I faced
by My blood and My disgrace, by My mouth that pleads your case
So won't you let Me be your vision, won't you let Me be your sight
Won't you let Me be your strength, won't you let Me be your might
Won't you let Me be your wisdom and discernment what to do
Won't you let Me be your heart so I could spread My love through you
Since I know it's what you want if you would only say the prayer
Cuz the words you say to Me aren't just whispers in the air
See, I wanna meet your needs, take your pain so you won't grieve
be the air in which you breathe, flood your soul and make you clean
But unless you consecrate it, I can't take it cuz it's your's
My beloved, whom I covet, won't you speak to Me some more
Chorus(3X)
You say take it all away, all away, all away
Take it all away
Take it all away
Take it all away
You say take it all away, all away
Take it all away
Take it all away
Take it all away
Chorus(2X)
