[Verse 1]
God I'm wrestling with the waiting again, again, again
My impatience a disease in this cage for mice and men
They say, "boy, you better keep running," but at this pace I can't sustain
My head knows to trust You but the heart of me is slain
[Chorus]
Faithful are the wounds of a Friend
Faithful are the dealings of Your hand
The troubles and the trials like the gold refined in fire
Faithful are the wounds of a Friend
[Verse 2]
God these questions, they just won't leave me alone, alonе
Will this crushing ever end, or is this achе now my home?
Am I a prisoner of hope, or just the warden of my pain?
My head knows to trust You but the heart of me is slain, yeah
[Chorus]
Faithful are the wounds of a Friend
Faithful are the dealings of Your hand
The troubles and the trials like the gold refined in fire
Faithful are the wounds of a Friend
[Bridge]
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, mmm
Oh, oh, oh, mmm
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
[Chorus]
And faithful are the wounds of a Friend
Faithful are the tides pulled by Your hand
And I've learned to catch the waves that push my soul into the cage
Faithful are the wounds of a Friend
[Instrumental Break]
[Spontaneous]
Da-da-da-da, oh oh
Oh we worship You Father, in the mess right in the middle of it all
Yeah, ooh-ooh, ayy
'Cause Your still worthy and Your still beautiful
From the rising of the sun to the setting of the same
Your name, Your name, Your name will be lifted high
Your name will be lifted high
Even in this city
In Kalamazoo, and your city wherever you're watching
Oh we just worship You Jesus
Say His name Jesus, da-da-da-da-da
Whoa, whoa
And everything changes, darkness turns to light, yeah
Oh-oh-oh, ah yeah
Oh-oh-oh, nah nah nah nah nah nah
And nothing else matters when You walk into the room
When You walk into the room
Nothing else matters
And I remember now
We remember now, we remember how
It's what it's all about anyway, yeah
And from the rising of the sun to the setting of the same
Your name, Your name, Your name, Your name
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
Where's that piano?
The glory has returned
It's not like it ever left though
Even though maybe I felt like it did
Yeah just keep going for a sec'
I love I love I love You God, oh yes I do
I love I love I love You God
I love I love I love You God
I love I love I love You God, more today
'Cause You have been faithful everyday of my life
And You never left me and God knows that I try to run away about a million times
But You chase me down, You keep chasing me down
And where can I go from Your presence?
There's no where, no-no-no
You've always been faithful
Right from the start
Your goodness
