Just let You be who You are
Lord, who You are in me
Oh Lord I
[Chorus]
Cry, like so many times before
But my eyes are dry before I leave the floor
Oh Lord I try but this time, Jesus, how can I be sure?
I will not lose my follow through
Between the altar and the
Cry, like so many times before
But my eyes are dry before I leave the floor
Oh Lord I try but this time, Jesus, how can I be sure?
I will not lose my follow through
Between the altar and the door
Cry, like so many times before
But my eyes are dry before I leave the floor
Oh Lord I try
