What is this gently piercing my heart? Why is this aching so familiar? I must confess I long for You more Strange as it seems I'm faithlessly bored Lord, You know I'm tired of playing the prodigal 'Cause it's been so long Since my words broke through It's been so long Since I found a way to touch You But maybe this time These words I pray will make their way to You So I'll wait a little longer Maybe this time I'll trust You for the answers that I need And resign myself to believeing You love me This time Your reply sounds of mercy & peace This is why I'll wait for You, Lord One whisper of love is well worth the wait And so I'll keep praying Watching & waiting For one word from you Lord hear the prayer from this prodigal
