Canyon Prayer Lyrics - Singles - Jessi Alexander

Time after time, I've turned away from you 

When all I had to do was surrender to your love 

You've seen me stumble, you've watched me fall 

And though I heard you call, I just wasn't strong enough 

But there's an emptiness inside 

Without you in my life 

Lord, I hope you hear my prayer tonight 

Won't you blind my eyes when all I see is temptation 

Break my stride when I'm runnin' from the truth 

An' tie my hands when I reach out with desire 

Go on an' do what you must do 

Whatever you must put me through till I turn to you, yeah 

I know that others fall down on their knees for mercy 

But you may have to hurt me before I see the light 

'Cause I've grown as far as I can go by myself 

I need your help if I'm gonna get it right 

I'm tired of strugglin' every day 

I wanna know the way 

So now the only prayer I wanna pray 

Is just blind my eyes when all I see is temptation 

Break my stride when I'm runnin' from the truth 

An' tie my hands when I reach out with desire 

Go on an' do what you must do 

Whatever you must put me through till I turn to you, yeah 

Blind my eyes, break my stride 

Whatever you want to be denied 

Whatever you must do 

An' tie my hands, ignore my demands 

Build a wall that stands so high, I can't get through 

Till I turn to you, yeah 

Until I turn to you 

'Cause I wanna turn to you 

Oh, yeah
