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
Oh, Lord, You know
I'm tired of playing the prodigal

'Cause its been so long
Since my words broke through
It's been so long
Since I found a way to touch You

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 believing You love me
This time

(Maybe this time)

Your reply sounds of mercy and 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 and waiting
For one word from You
Lord, hear the prayer from this prodigal
It's been so long
Since my words broke through
Its been so long
Since I found a way to touch You, Lord

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 believing You love me
This time, whoa...

Whoa...
(Maybe this time)

This time
These words I pray
Will make their way to You
(So I'll wait)
I'll wait, I'll wait just a little longer
Maybe this time
I'll trust You for the answers that I need
And resign myself
To believing You love me
This time
Maybe this time
