No hour of peace - no restful sleep No stone unturned - no secrets learned No wisdom gleaned - no thoughts made clean
CHORUS: I am unworthy and You are so holy I am so weak and You are so strong I cannot speak and You do not ask Just to be still and know
No thing but fear - no courage here No stepping down - no turning round No hope made real - no will to kneel
CHORUS
And as time passes by I'm forced to question my sincerity Am I doing something wrong? Is the answer here in my periphery? Then You come to me With a moment so complete Just me, just You, just now
I cannot speak and You do not ask Just to be still and know
I still can see her folded hands And a prayer book worn to shreds I still can feel her bony touch And a goodnight kiss for bed This woman's faith, such a part of me I draw on it still now
CHORUS: And even in my youth You were chasing me Whispering in the dark and Running through my dreams Each day I've lived You were calling me But maybe in my youth I heard You best
I still can see a little girl Playing in her room alone I still can feel her aching heart And a wishing to be known All those days have brought me here I wear them like a badge
CHORUS
We can't undo the days of youth They speak on through our years Jesus said we must believe Like the little ones to see We were little once We were little once We were little once We were little once
CHORUS: I will trust in You I will hold to what is true That You see the weakest through Every trial I will cling to You Each day I pledge it new My imperfect gratitude From now on
I am a rag doll Made of strings and yarns Each day a new thread Is torn from me And as I come apart at the seams My hands raise up and I fall to my knees Please hold me and sew me back together again
CHORUS
I can feel so old Like I've seen too much All my hope has been squeezed dry Like some worn-out sponge And as I am used up and spilled empty You fill me up with a sweet certainty Please keep me filled and never to be thirsty again
And as my tiny steps lead to freedom's strides Keep a watchful eye over me Lest I trip and fall I know I will
I will trust in You Each day I pledge it new My imperfect gratitude From now on
I could use someone to part the red sea To fend off my enemies And fight all my wars I could use someone to heal all my lepers To make right whatever Pains me the most Things were running just as planned When suddenly I lost command And for one control is out of my reach
CHORUS: But I can't think of a better place No I can't think of a better place Yeah I can't think of a better place Than where I am now
I could use someone from a bush that's caught fire When my needs are most dire And I've nowhere to go I could use someone on the road to Damascus When I'm running the fastest Away from what's real I was following the prescribed course When I lost my way in an unseen storm And there's no map left that I can trust
CHORUS
Things were running just as planned When suddenly I lost command And for once control is out of my reach
