Being Still

I must have caused You, a million tears
Many failures, many tears
Doin my thing, my own way
Always knowing there's a price to pay

There were times I was, sure You'd gone,
Couldn't blame You after all I'd done so wrong
I'm not sure I was, hearing You
You were speaking I had too much to do

I am sorry I was distant, I am sorry I was cold
Wouldn't take the hand You offered, reaching out for me to hold
I took all from You I wanted, didn't care how You would feel
But today I see You clearly.....I'm being still.......I'm being still

I took all the right precautions, said a prayer every now and then
Felt that You would think it's alright, but Your heart was wearing thin
Cause You shook me from my sleeping, I was about to lose it all
But in the midst of my unwinding...I heard Your loving call

I am sorry I was distant, I am sorry I was cold
Wouldn't take the hand You offered, reaching out for me to hold
I took all from You I wanted, didn't care how You would feel
But today I see You clearly.....I'm being still.......I'm being still

I'm being still.....

Then You finally won me over, after years of loss and pain,
You were patiently awaiting for me .....to come in from the rain!

I am sorry I was distant, I am sorry I was cold
Wouldn't take the hand You offered, reaching out for me to hold
I took all from You I wanted, didn't care how You would feel
But today I see You clearly.....I'm being still.......I'm being still
