Lord, I’ve been shut off for such a long, lost time
Afraid to love those whom You gave me to love
Lord, I’ve wanted this wall to fall that I can’t climb
Praying for my desire instead of Your Own
Give me patience, give me time to grow
Give me a faith so strong I will always know
That I am never too far, never too gone
To find Your open, loving, merciful arms
That I am never too scarred, never too guilty
To find You holding, molding, forgiving me
Lord, the only thing I ask in tonight’s long due prayer
Is that my will might die and Yours take root within me
Lord, the only thing I ask in my desperate hour
Is that the blood You spilled wash over every part of me
Like a flower swallowed by the evening
I was lost to the darkness
But, like the color exposed by the morning
I was found to the light
Lost to the night
And, given life through Your Grace
Give me patience, give me time to grow
Give me a faith so strong I will always know
That I am never too far, never too gone
To find Your open, loving, merciful arms
That I am never too scarred, never too guilty
To find You holding, molding, forgiving me
