Lord You seem so far away. A million miles or more it feels today.
And though I haven’t lost my faith, I must confess right now that it’s hard for me to pray.
But I don’t know what to say and I don’t know where to start.
But as you give the grace with all that’s in my heart.
I will sing.
I will praise even in my darkest hour
Through the sorrow and the pain.
I will sing. I will praise.
Lift my hands to honor You because Your word is true.
I will sing.
Lord is hard for me to see all the thought and plan You have for me.
But I will put my trust in You. Lord will meet Your guide to set me free.
