All the chisels I've dulled carving idols of stone
That have crumbled like sand 'neath the waves.
I have recklessly built all my dreams in the sand
Just to watch them all wash away.
Through another day, another trial, another chance to reconcile to one who sees past all I see.
And reaching out my weary hand,
I pray that you'd understand
You're the only one who's faithful to me.
All these pennies I've wasted in my wishing well
I have thrown like stones to the sea.
I have cast my lot, dropped my guard, searched aimlessly
For the faith to be faithful to thee.
Through another day, another trial, another chance to reconcile to one who sees past all I see.
And reaching out my weary hand,
I pray that you'd understand,
You're the only one who's faithful to me. |
