Verse 1

Don't let my heart grow cold
Or despise the wait
This is not unkindness
This is not disgrace
I am not passed over
In my suffering
You hold my broken heart
And my broken dreams

Pre Chorus 1

Your love has held me warmly
Through the night
I have seen Your faithfulness
With my own eyes

Chorus

You've been good to me
I am safe to hope
I will dare to believe
When the way is long and slow
And I am full of doubt
But You are kind and close
I will trust
The detour is the road

Verse 2

I will not pretend
That it comes easily
To follow when I'm sure
I know what's best for me
I've got lots of questions
But I know the truth
That I have never lived
A day apart from You

Pre Chorus 2

And somehow every unexpected climb
Makes Your goodness
That much harder to deny

Chorus

You've been good to me
I am safe to hope
I will dare to believe
When the way is long and slow
And I am full of doubt
But You are kind and close
I will trust
The detour is the road

Bridge

This time will not be wasted
All the sorrow I have tasted
You sing hope across
The valley of my tears
Sometimes love looks like delay
But You walk me through the wait
And I am learning laughter even here
You are with me here

Chorus

You've been good to me
I am safe to hope
I will dare to believe
When the way is long and slow

Chorus

You've been good to me
I am safe to hope
I will dare to believe
When the way is long and slow
And I am full of doubt
But You are kind and close
I will trust
