I've learned a lesson, and I've learned it well
Life don't get easier in the long run
I've washed my heart out in the tears I've cried
How I hate it, but I love it
And there's just no turning back, no
Will I find a way?
Will I fall apart?
Will You love me win or lose, yeah?
I keep reaching out to You

'Cause my hope lies in Your love for me
In Your faithfulness I can see
Traces of heaven
In subtle kindness, Lord
(Ooo, Your kindness, Lord)
You keep lovingly showing me
Traces of heaven
(Heaven)

I've longed to know how forgiveness feels
I've longed to feel that I belong to You
The truth can hold me for a thousand years
I can make it, I can take it
But there's more to love than truth
I can face the pain
I will live again
Long as I keep trusting You
(I trust in You, Lord)
And I'll keep trusting You!

'Cause my hope lies in Your love for me
In Your faithfulness I can see
Traces of heaven
In subtle kindness, oh!
(Ooo, Your kindness, Lord)
You keep lovingly showing me
Traces of heaven, yeah!

(I can face the pain
I will live again)
Long as I keep trusting You, Lord!

My!
(My hope lies)
My hope lies!
(In Your love for me
In Your faithfulness I can see)
Traces of heaven
(Heaven)
In subtle kindness, Lord!
(Kindness, Lord)
You keep lovingly showing me
(Traces of heaven)
Oh! Ooh, yeah!
(In your faithfulness I can see)
I can see traces of heaven
Heaven!
(You keep lovingly showing me)
Heaven!
