if all that You required from me was time
then all the time would not allow this selfish heart of mine
to be broken, to be broken of my pride
and be open to the things that coincide to Your will; to Your will
if You had simply waited just for me to come around
eternity would not suffice my lifeless soul to sound
a plea for mercy, an utter mention of Your name
for I am restless and yet unable to proclaim Your worth; Your worth
what if all I thought was meant for nothing
was the very thing that You had used to cause my heart to break
and to replace it, to replace my heart of stone
and let’s face it, I’ve been saved by grace alone
You have not wasted a single moment of my pain
for I have tasted that in Christ, to die is gain
to die is gain
