God Knows the Page

Verse 1

Funny how they reach for you

Then act surprised when you reach back

They only show you what they did

Never show you what they did before that

I kept quiet just to keep the peace

You thought silence meant I couldn't speak

Chorus

They keep reaching reaching for the chosen

Then they wonder why the door got closed in

They don't talk about the pressure they was putting on you

Only talk about the moment that you finally exploded

I been hiding all my feelings just to keep the act in motion

Smiling through the pain had to learn to stay composed

God gave me strength when I thought I had no hope in me

If He chose you better know He got His hands on you

Post-Chorus

Don't play with the chosen ones

Don't mistake patience for weakness

God don't play about His children

Sometimes protection looks like leaving

Verse 2

They pushed every button then complained when it clicked

Put a match to the gasoline then blamed me for the switch

Funny how the story changes when the truth gets inconvenient

They remember my reaction never everything preceding it

I could've said a thousand things

But I swallowed every word

Had to learn that being quiet

Don't mean you never heard

Pre-Chorus

I was fighting battles privately

Nobody saw the war

Had to build my courage up

When I couldn't take no more

Chorus

They keep reaching reaching for the chosen

Then they wonder why the door got closed in

They don't talk about the pressure they was putting on you

Only talk about the moment that you finally exploded

I been hiding all my feelings just to keep the act in motion

Smiling through the pain had to learn to stay composed

God gave me strength when I thought I had no hope in me

If He chose you better know He got His hands on you

Post-Chorus

Don't play with the chosen ones

Don't mistake patience for weakness

God don't play about His children

Sometimes protection looks like leaving

Bridge

I overcame the nights I thought would never end

Had to lose a couple people just to find myself again

They wanted me distracted I was trying to elevate

They were studying my reaction I was studying my faith

That's the difference

Verse 3

I don't gotta prove I'm strong

God already knows my heart

Every scar became a lesson

Every ending was a start

Don't let anger make decisions

That your future gotta pay for

Don't let somebody else's darkness

Make you forget what you prayed for

Chorus

They keep reaching reaching for the chosen

Then they wonder why the door got closed in

They don't talk about the pressure they was putting on you

Only talk about the moment that you finally exploded

I been hiding all my feelings just to keep the act in motion

Smiling through the pain had to learn to stay composed

God gave me strength when I thought I had no hope in me

If He chose you better know He got His hands on you

Outro

Don't play with the chosen ones

Don't confuse grace with weakness

God don't play about His children

That's the warning and the secret
