sitting in a pew
simply waiting

hoping for a word
from God

my troubles are many
dashing hope

what must i do
for forgiveness

please, Lord
help my faith grow
with grace
heal my broken heart
with love

i mouth the songs
no passion

do i deserve forgiveness
joy flees

remembering my past failures
hurting all

God will never answer
someone wicked

please, Lord
help my faith grow
with grace
heal my broken heart
with love

many people have left
sitting alone

watching the sanctuary lights
radiating life

when a voice says
“my son”

“Grace will always forgive”
“with joy”

thanks, Lord
for helping my faith to grow
with grace
and healing my broken heart
with love
