If only I had listened
A road that leaves a man unchanged
is a road that is left untraveled
You asked me to change my feelings
and left my heart unraveled
But beneath is a newness that shines so bright
As you promised that light shall not abide with the Darkness
I will be made brighter with your loving care
Passing through the decisions
I overlooked your direction
If I had only listened
I could have saved myself from harm
Before I resisted your coaching
Today I follow your loving command
Scars I can no longer hide
Most all of this regret and pain
Scars I can no longer hide
The security that you provide
If it means so much to
Dragging along my burden,
its weight so heavy to bear
Will my Father hear my silent prayer
So Glad you want me to follow
Thankful you want me to stay
Humbly I bow before you
Follow as you lead the way
To carry the weight of this gift
Has been my deepest desire
To see your name lifted up
And follow your presence higher
is a road that is left untraveled
You asked me to change my feelings
and left my heart unraveled
But beneath is a newness that shines so bright
As you promised that light shall not abide with the Darkness
I will be made brighter with your loving care
Passing through the decisions
I overlooked your direction
If I had only listened
I could have saved myself from harm
Before I resisted your coaching
Today I follow your loving command
Scars I can no longer hide
Most all of this regret and pain
Scars I can no longer hide
The security that you provide
If it means so much to
Dragging along my burden,
its weight so heavy to bear
Will my Father hear my silent prayer
So Glad you want me to follow
Thankful you want me to stay
Humbly I bow before you
Follow as you lead the way
To carry the weight of this gift
Has been my deepest desire
To see your name lifted up
And follow your presence higher
