Dear God Surround me as I speak The bridges that I walk Across are weak And the frustrations fill the Void that I can't solely bear Dear God Don't let me fall apart You've held me close to you But I have turned away And searched for answers I can't understand They say that I can move the mountains And send them falling to the sea They say that I can walk on water If I would follow and believe With faith like a child Sometimes, When I feel miles away And my eyes can't see your face I wonder if I've grown to lose The recklessness I walked in Light of you They say that I can move the mountains And send them crashing to the sea They say that I can walk on water If I would follow and believe With faith like a child They say that I can move the mountains And send them crashing to the sea They say that I can walk on water If I would follow and believe With faith like a child They say that love can heal the broken They say that hope can make you see They say that faith can find a Savior If you would follow and believe with faith like a child
