Unfailing

I waste every day,
Looking for a hero,
Looking for someone to love me,
Unfailing.

But why can't I see,
That You're right here with me?
I don't understand,
Don't trust what I can't see.
You're waiting here, to take my hand,
And lead me to the Promised Land.

And You love me,
Unfailing.
And You have always loved me,
Unfailing.

Heroes will come and go,
But You will remain forever.
I reach out to You,
Crying for someone to love me.
You take my hand,
In Your scarred ones,
And lead me to the Promised Land.

I waste every day,
Looking for unfailing love,
But You already died for me.
You know every heartache, and every tear,
Every triumph, and every fear.

Yet You still love me,
Unfailing.
And You will always love me,
Unfailing.

And now I can see,
That You're right here with me.
You take my hand,
And lead me to the Promised Land.
You have loved me for an eternity,
And You will always love me,
Unfailing.
