lyrics

Verse1:
How many times have I lost
My cards in this game I’m living
How many times have I tried it on my own
Only to find that I needed You all along
Only to find that I needed You all along

Verse2:
How many days have I spent
Wishing I were made stronger
How many weeks have I wasted on myself
Only to find you were strong in me all along
Only to find you were strong in me all along

Chorus:
So I’m letting go of the things that hinder
All the baggage that weigh down my heart
Don’t you let these failures define you
You’re a child of light from the dark

Verse3:
How many seasons have I lost control
And time and again you guide me home
How many reasons will I give on the issue
Only to find that You’ve heard it all before
Only to find that You’ve heard it all before

Bridge:
So maybe then I could be free
Maybe everything could be beautiful
If I could only focus on
The things that matter to you
Things that matter to you
Are things that matter to me
