FAITHFUL W/M: Bob Bennett Empty vigil in ink black night I awaken to the same refrain I make no claim to second sight Just the blind following the blind again My stubborn heart always misleads Away from the little light I can see Adrift in the tide of my own misdeeds Wishing I was who I never could be Oh, that I were faithful Oh, that I were true Oh, that I would hear Your voice And I would follow You I'm easily fooled most of the time But nobody's ever going to dig too deep We're all in a hurry to somewhere else With distractions and too little sleep I gotta a list of questions long as my arm And the only second chance I see To live and die without permanent harm Is if God can outmaneuver me What makes a man hunger for truth Then ignore what little he understands He blames it on age, blames it on youth Props up a dead man with both of his hands If only the pure in heart will see The glory of God one endless day I pray His Spirit will remember me And the stuttering prayers I try to pray Oh, that You would know my name And I could be with You Oh, that I were faithful
