Lyrics

Don't let my heart grow cold or despise the wait
This is not unkindness, this is not disgrace
I am not passed over in my suffering
You hold my broken heart and my broken dreams
Your love has held me warmly through the night
And I have seen Your faithfulness with my own eyes
You've been good to me, I am safe to hope
I will dare to believe when the way is long and slow
And I am full of doubt, but You are kind and close
I will trust the detour is the road
I will not pretend that it comes easily
To follow when I'm sure I know what's best for me
I've got lots of questions, but I know the truth
That I have never lived a day apart from You
And somehow every unexpected climb
Makes Your goodness that much harder to deny
'Cause You've been good to me, I am safe to hope
I will dare to believe when the way is long and slow
And I am full of doubt, but You are kind and close
And I will trust the detour is the road
This time will not be wasted
All the sorrow I have tasted
You sing hope across the valley of my tears
And sometimes love looks like delay
But You walk me through the wait
And I am learning laughter even here
That You are with me here
You've been good to me, I am safe to hope
I will dare to believe when the way is long and slow
'Cause You've been good to me, I am safe to hope
I will dare to believe when the way is long and slow
And I am full of doubt, but You are kind and close
And I will trust (You've been so kind to me)
Oh, I will trust (yes, I will trust) the detour is the road
The detour is the road
The detour is the road
The detour is the road
So keep on walking, don't give up
You're headed somewhere beautiful
So keep on walking, don't give up now
The detour is the road
So keep on walking, don't give up
You're headed somewhere beautiful
So keep on walking, don't give up now
Don't give up now (don't give up)
Don't give up now (yeah)
The detour is the road
The detour is the road
'Cause the detour is the road
The detour is the road
So don't give up now
Don't give up now
Don't give up
Don't give up
You won't give up
