The Lord is teaching me patience and love
Not like I've know before it comes from above
A passion so strong different than I've felt before
I give my heart to Him I kneel to the floor

He washes my worries and makes this life new
I feel I'm in a hurry my hours here are few
How glorious is God that He gave me the faith
To believe what's not present in front of my face

The darkness is lifted from this earthly place
I seek and I find light in His unseen face
For what was unknown before is clear as a bell
You can't touch it or see it you can just tell

The greatness He's shown me my eyes have not seen
The joyful noise in my ear comes from where I've never been
It's the Sprit inside me that tells me to share
That God is so glorious He is everywhere

I can't taste it or smell it yet I know that it's there
I know that He's with me I know that He cares
He has opened my heart up and mended it too
As I come to the Lord He makes my soul new

Forward toward His home I stride with my actions
I'm running to His arms and watching reactions
I see it in the mirror when I look at my face
A kinder and gentler man he's had me replaced

I am the boy you knew but with God's loving grace
He is changing me from a lost child to seeking his face
Praise God for the greatest gift I pray he is proud
I'm saying it with my lips and I'm saying it OUT LOUD

Look to the Lord and you will see too
The passion for seeking Him will tell you what to do
The Lord Jesus is why I know in my heart
He died for my sins He gave me a new start
