Lyrics:
If I only had a minute of your time I would tell you his love is deeper than the ocean
If I only had a second to say it will be OK when itʼs hard to believe
If I only had a minute I wouldnʼt try to read your mind
But conversate on struggle and the past Iʼve left behind
Present an open book then wonder where the pages went
Try and explain a man so broken down to commitment
On the surface in plain view, you canʼt see me as I am
But look beyond my face, imperfection seeks demand
Scars and lasting stains, those things I canʼt erase
Honesty rugged and raw, yet complete and saved by grace
Wounds to heal with time, and love I took for granted
Anger lived in life, too plain to understand it
But if a momentʼs all you got, I hope you still remember the name
Since even though were strangers, our struggle seems the same
Is love and hate so far away in the perspective of it all
Here I stand a broken man as I slam my fist against the wall
If the pain of waking up can control my every thought
My anxieties eclipsed by the chance if I did not
If I had a single wish, just one action to proceed
I would pray my mind would focus on those things I really need
If I could give you just a moment, one peek into my plight
You would see the real process, a pursuit of Christian life
When I open up my eyes, when I concentrate on sin
I see my life in vivid color, and how bad it could have been
But alas I'm here again...in renewal I stand, abide
In the end itʼs not myself, but the one who walks beside
And He was standing there when you did not care
Right beside, youʼre not alone, a life inside this very home
Benjiman, Brandon Bee
Behind the Song:
'I have never been able to get to sleep fast. I just can't shut off my brain for some
reason! Most nights I lie in bed wide awake for one, maybe two hours trying to get to
sleep. The main thing I do (and most likely part of the problem) is I think about things…
the dayʼs events, my wife and kids, music, mini-trucks and motorcycles,
yadayadayada… One of the topics that crossed my mind around 1 a.m. was
“Opportunity.” I was going through the scenario in my mind about sharing the grace of
God. In other words, if I only had one minute to share the love of Christ what would I
say? How would I relate? I chose to “conversate on struggle” and the peace of a
relationship with Jesus. I trust you will know the right thing to say when your minute
comes...' - Benjiman
