To be so close to the pain When I know the one Who loves me most Could make it all change Sometimes I'm lost In the land of questioning And I rub together timesless truths Like flint and stone in the rain And I don't understand where you are in all this Still I wait and hope and pray and wish CHORUS: And I won't be persuaded Still I will believe beyond what I can see No, I won't be persuaded Not after all that we've been through I won't turn my back on you What would I hold If not this simple thread Cords of mercy bound together Whit you on the other end What can I do When I cannot see your hands That keep reaching out as if You're never far from where I stand But I don't understand where you are in all this Still I remind myself to trust in you 'Cause I know what love is CHORUS Oh, I know you love me so Still I get so tired sometimes Won't you lift me up my love CHORUS
