Don't let my heart grow cold or despise the wait
This is not unkindness, this is not disgrace
I am not passed over in my suffering
You hold my broken heart and my broken dreams
Your love has held me warmly through the night
And I have seen Your faithfulness with my own eyes
You've been good to me, I am safe to hope
I will dare to believe when the way is long and slow
And I am full of doubt, but You are kind and close
I will trust the detour is the road
I will not pretend that it comes easily
To follow when I'm sure I know what's best for me
I've got lots of questions, but I know the truth
That I have never lived a day apart from You
And somehow every unexpected climb
Makes Your goodness that much harder to deny
'Cause You've been good to me, I am safe to hope
I will dare to believe when the way is long and slow
And I am full of doubt, but You are kind and close
And I will trust the detour is the road
This time will not be wasted
All the sorrow I have tasted
You sing hope across the valley of my tears
And sometimes love looks like delay
But You walk me through the wait
And I am learning laughter even here
That You are with me here
You've been good to me, I am safe to hope
I will dare to believe when the way is long and slow
'Cause You've been good to me, I am safe to hope
I will dare to believe when the way is long and slow
And I am full of doubt, but You are kind and close
And I will trust (You've been so kind to me)
Oh, I will trust (yes, I will trust) the detour is the road
The detour is the road
