I have come from so far away / Down the road of my own mistakes / In the hope You could hear me pray / Oh Lord, keep me in Your reach // How I’ve longed through these wasted years / To outrun all the pain and fear / Turned to stone from my un-cried tears / And now it’s Your grace I seek // Love won’t compromise / It’s a gift, it’s a sacrifice / My soul renewed, and my heart released / In You I’ll find my peace // Wondrous Child of whom the angels sing / Know my joy, feel my suffering / Shining star make this love You bring / So bright that I may believe // That my way will not be lost / From now on, ‘til that river’s crossed / My soul renewed, and my spirit free / In You, I’ll find my peace
