The Brilliance of your face
Are not the desires I had in mind
To think I was so off the mark
To think I was so far behind, from where you wanted me to be
FAITH
Please show me, the desires you have for me
Not what I thought them to be
Set in Motion
Ignite the fire that wants to flow from here
I want to cry for what you cry over
