I’ve said the words so many times
I don’t want that to be all they are
There’s only so much that I can say
But there’s too much here in my heart
And I’m living, and I’m breathing
Deep inside of me every part is screaming
I need a new way to love You
God, show me what to do
I want to live every moment
Like this love in me is true
Lord, shine Your light through me
For all the world to see
And hear this prayer too
Give me a new way to love You
I’ve closed my eyes too many times
So afraid to open up my heart
There’s only so much I can say
To explain how I wandered so far
And I’m living, and I’m breathing
Deep inside of me every part is screaming
I need a new way to love You
God, show me what to do
I want to live every moment
Like this love in me is true
Lord, shine Your light through me
For all the world to see
And hear this prayer too
Give me a new way to love You
Oh, God, Help me to remember
In every single thing I do
When I’m reaching out to someone
It’s like I’m reaching out to You
For every day that I live
And every moment this life brings
Let this echo in my soul
And be the song that my heart sings
I need a new way to love You
God, show me what to do
I want to live every moment
Like this love in me is true
Lord, shine Your light through me
For all the world to see
And hear this prayer too
Give me a new way to love You
