Dear God
We haven't talked much in a while, that's on me
I know you're not proud of my apathy
But every time I talk to you, I wonder if you're listening
I know that in my heart I'm deeply flawed
Dear God
I hope you're all they said you'd be
I try to read through the hypocrisy
But everybody screams they have an answer to your mystery
Sometimes I feel its just a big facade
Dear God
Dear God
I get so angry at the little things in life
An angry mind is as sharp as a butter knife
But patience is required to lead a family and a wife
I know I gotta learn to calm my mind
Dear God
I talk a lot but I don't hear a lot from you
I'm not that good at listening to you
But I know you know what's in my heart and what I'm going through
Maybe these words don't sound so odd
Dear God
Oh if only
Oh if only I could catch a glimpse of you
Oh if only
Oh if only I could snatch a glance at everything you do
I could stand there in your glory as the heavens all applaud
Dear God
Dear God
I've said the right words one thousand one too many times
To right my thirteen thousand crimes
But the words you spoke were simple when you said that you are mine
Maybe churchy words are making me a fraud
Dear God
I wish I had made more time for you, there's a tension in my chest
To ignore you or explore you, search for answers in the depths
To replace all my opinions with a love for who you are
To embrace the grace you've given, not the black that's in my heart
Oh I know your ways are higher, God I've read it in your book
But I've been living like a liar, cuz my eyes won't take a look
At the God who moves the universe, with a breath he calms the sea
And with that breath he breathed a beating heart to life inside of me
Oh God forgive me for my selfishness, my life is in your hand
Take me back to where you called me
Please help me understand
All the power, all the beauty
All the love you've given to me
Every river, every ocean
God you set them all in motion
Take my life now, make it for you
Where you call me, I will run to
Take my faults and take my failure
Take my heart and be my savior
Take my life now, make it for you
Where you call me, I will run to
Take my faults and take my failures, take my heart
Take my heart
Dear God
When life is over and I meet you face to face
Will all be answered in that place
Or will none of it really matter in comparison to you
We'll be caught up in your glory forevermore
Dear Lord
