[Verse 1]
Don't let my heart grow cold or despise the wait
This is not unkindness, this is not disgrace
I am not passed over in my suffering
You hold my broken heart and my broken dreams

[Pre-Chorus]
Your love has held me warmly through the night
And I have seen Your faithfulness with my own eyes

[Chorus]
You've been good to me, I am safe to hope
I will dare to believe when the way is long and slow
And I am full of doubt but You are kind and close
I will trust the detour is the road

[Verse 2]
I will not pretend that it comes easily
To follow when I'm surе I know what's best for me
I've got lots of quеstions but I know the truth
That I have never lived a day apart from You

[Pre-Chorus]
And somehow every unexpected climb
Makes Your goodness that much harder to deny
[Chorus]
You've been good to me, I am safe to hope
I will dare to believe when the way is long and slow
And I am full of doubt but You are kind and close
I will trust the detour is the road

[Bridge]
This time will not be wasted
All the sorrow I have tasted
You sing hope across the valley of my tears
Sometimes love looks like delay
But You walk me through the wait
And I am learning laughter even here
You are with me here

[Chorus]
You've been good to me, I am safe to hope
I will dare to believe when the way is long and slow
You've been good to me, I am safe to hope
I will dare to believe when the way is long and slow
And I am full of doubt but You are kind and close
And I will trust (But You are kind)
Oh, I will trust (Oh, I will trust)
The detour is the road
(It's the road, yes, it's the road)
The detour is the road
[Outro]
Ooh-ooh-ooh (Yeah, yeah)
Oh-oh-oh
