This Time

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
 Lord, You know I'm tired of
 playing the prodigal
 REFRAIN
 'Cause it's been so long
 Since my words broke through
 It's been so long
 Since I found a way
 to touch You
 CHORUS
 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 believeing
 You love me
 This time
 Your reply sounds
 of mercy peace
 This is why I'll wait
 for You, Lord
 One whisper of love is well
 worth the wait
 And so I'll keep praying
 Watching waiting
 For one word from you
 Lord hear the prayer from
 this prodigal
 REFRAIN
 REPEAT CHORUS
