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
Oh, 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 believing You love me
This time, maybe this time

Your reply sounds of mercy and peace
This is why I'll wait for You, Lord
One whisper of love is well worth the wait

So I'll keep praying watching and waiting
For one word from You
Lord hear the prayer from this prodigal

Oh, it's been so long
Since my words broke through
It's been so long
Since I found a way to touch You Lord

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 believing You love me
This time, oh

Oh, maybe this time
These words, I pray these make their way to You
So I'll wait, I'll wait just a little longer

This time
I'll trust You for the answers that I need
And resign myself to believing You love me
This time, maybe this time
