Lyrics

How long (F)must I pray,

(C)must I pray to You?

How long (F)must I wait,

(C)must I wait for You?

How long till I (Fmaj7)see Your face,

(C)see You shin ing through?

I’m (F)on my knees,

beg ging You to (G)no tice me.

I’m (Am)on my knees.

Fa ther, will You (G)turn to me?

Yeah.

One tear in the driv ing rain,

one voice in a sea of pain.

Could the Mak er of the stars

hear the sound of my break ing heart?

One life, that’s all I am.

Right now, I can bare ly stand.

If You’re ev ’ry thing You say You are, would You come close and hold my heart?

I’ve been (F)so a fraid, a (C)fraid to close my eyes.

So much can (F)slip a way be (C)fore I say good bye.

But if there’s no (F)oth er way,

(C)I’m done ask ing why.

’Cause I’m (F)on my knees,

beg ging You to (G)turn to me.

I’m (Am)on my knees.

Fa ther, will You (G)run to me?

Yeah.

One tear in the driv ing rain,

one voice in a sea of pain.

Could the Mak er of the stars

hear the sound of my break ing heart?

One life, that’s all I am.

Right now, I can bare ly stand.

If You’re ev ’ry thing You say You are, would You come close and hold my heart?

So man y ques tions (Am)with out an swers; Your prom is es re main.

I can’t see, but I’ll (E7)take my chanc es to (Am)hear You (G)call my (F)name,

to (Am)hear you (G)call my (Fmaj7)name.

You hold my heart.

’Cause You hold my heart,

hold my heart.
