i think Jesus would rather reign in a wild stallion than kick a dead horse any day.

hold my heart by tenth avenue north

how long must i pray, must i pray to you?
how long must i wait, must i wait for you?
how long til i see your face? til i see you shining through?
i'm on my knees begging for you to notice me
i'm on my knees; father will you turn to me?

one tear in the driving rain
one voice in a sea of pain
could the maker of the stars
hear the sound of my breaking heart?
one light, that's all i am
right now i can barely stand
if you're everything you say you are
won't you come close and hold my heart?

i've been so afraid, afraid to close my eyes
so much can slip away before i say good-bye
but if there's no other way, i'm done asking why
cause i'm on my knees begging you to turn to me
i'm on my knees, father will you run to me?

one tear in the driving rain
one voice in a sea of pain
could the maker of the stars
hear the sound of my breaking heart?
one light, that's all i am
right now i can barely stand
if you're everything you say you are
won't you come close and hold my heart?

so many questions without answers
your promises remain
i can't sleep, but i'll take my chances
to hear you call my name
