Though You Slay Me COVER!

Another cover! This one's not very well known though. It's originally done by Jason Vorpagel. He's an awesome singer and you should all check out his website listed below. I again used Audacity to record this (no editing done to it, so it's not very good), but there are no instrumentals for this song yet. I plan on figuring out how tomake one as well as an official lyric video. I may upload a second version of this with better quality and backup vocals.

Lyrics:
Though You Slay Me


I have known pain
The losses that life surely brings
I've buried elders and children 
Family and friends
The wheel never ends

And I have known tears
Both imagined and justified fears
They've hounded and haunted me
Tortured and taunted my sleep
When I'm too tired to weep

Chorus
Though you slay me 
I'll trust you
Though you slay me
I'll praise you
What some would call than my share
Pales to the burden/cross that you had to bear
Though you slay me
I'll trust/praise you

And I have my scars
Both physical and of the heart
War wounded tissues and
Emotional issues of old
Both ache when it's cold

And I have my doubts
Just trying to figure life...out
I've wandered and wondered
Pondered and plundered all through
What else can I do?

Chorus

So come bear the cup
Empty me and fill me up
All the enemies planning for harm
Just drives me to your arms
