Verse 1 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
Pre-Chorus Your love has held me warmly through the night And I have seen Your faithfulness with my own eyes
Chorus 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
Verse 2 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
Pre-Chorus And somehow every unexpected climb Makes Your goodness that much harder to deny
Chorus 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
Bridge This time will not be wasted All the sorrow I have tasted You sing hope across the valley of my tears Sometimes love looks like delay But You walk me through the wait And I am learning laughter even here You are with me here
Chorus You've been good to me, I am safe to hope I will dare to believe when the way is long and slow 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 (But You are kind) Oh, I will trust (Oh, I will trust) The detour is the road (It's the road, yes, it's the road) The detour is the road
