Day by day – my promises wait,
The more I called, the more they ran.
Yet it was me – who taught you to walk,
I held you in my arms and bent down to feed.
For I am God, and not a man,
I’ll hold my wrath and bring you home.

How can I give u up?
How can I hand u over?
How can I make you like them?
How can I, how can I, how can I?

My heart recoils within me…
My compassion grows warm & tender…

I’ll take your heart – the heart of stone,
And revive you, with a heart of flesh.
Come back to me – I wait for you
My arms open wide, from the day on the cross.
For I am God, and not a man,
I’ll quieten you with songs of love
