Would You?

There seems to be the promise of it one day changing
And one day changing sometime soon
You see, it’s been a long road getting to here
holding onto hope that things will be fulfilled
Lord, You tell me to hold on, wait and believe
Disregard what everyone else seems to see

Do You really think I am that strong?
Do You really think I can last that long?
Is there really something beyond what I can see?
I’m walking blind, trying to trust Your sight
and not be alone with these tears tonight
Would You be merciful to me?

There seems to be a cry for freedom within me
and within me in great need
You see, it’s been a long road getting to here
waiting for the things I desire to receive
Lord, You tell me to hold on, wait and believe
Downplay what I want to go and seek

Why do You think I am that strong?
Why do you ask me to last so long?
Is there something vain in what I seek?
I’m walking alone, trying to let You be known
and not doubt Your grace that has been shown
Would You be tender to me?

There seems to be an impulse to shut down
Shut down what brings me here again
You see, it’s been a long road getting to here
being vulnerable and transparent under my skin
Lord, You tell me to hold on, wait and believe
Desire to see the better things

Would You not ask me to be so strong?
Would You not ask me to last so long?
Is that something You could grant to me?
I’m walking weary, needing You to be near
and release me from unending heartache I fear
Would You be gracious to me?
