How many words must I truly write br to put all that was ever done to rights. br How many verses need to be sung br to heal the wounds that time has cruelly done. br How heartfelt must this message be br to bring my soul back home to Thee. br How often must I, on bended knee br offer all my pride to simply be. br How can I ever, ever see br all that You promise that You are to me. br How can I fill each moment and each hour br in your presence without any other thought or dark desire. br How am I to reach an end br to this searching to simply be Your friend. br How, ohh how can it ever be br that I will deserve to live as one with Thee.
