raising me from the dead

i’ve walked on the edge and fallen too
i’ve never landed far from You
You pick me up off the ground

i’ve run and hid from Your will
hands over my ears i hear You still
i get lost, but i’m found

i am a child – please teach me how to grow
i am alive – but i act like i don’t know
that you – are raising me from the dead

i’ve sat by the fire denying Your name
i’ve swallowed the truth and hid Your flame

i’ve prayed for things i shouldn’t get
i’ve taken for granted things You haven’t given yet

but when i ask you forgive it all…

i am a child – please teach me how to grow
i am alive – but i act like i don’t know
that you – are raising me from the dead
