Lord please teach me to love you,
The way that you love me,
I desire to please you,
but i need you to help me.
Im imperfect but i know,
Youre perfecting me,
Than you Jesus, my lord
for being patient with me.
thank you for your patience,
patience with me,
thank you Lord for your patience,
patience with me
If it were not for you,
Lord where would I be?
Thats why I thank you,
For being patient with me
Father over and over.
you gave me instructions.
but I didnt listen.
because the pride in me told me that I knew better than you.
Then it all blew up in my face.
and I see that I didnt have a clue.
so had to run back to you.
You held me ever so closely
and filled me up with you.
You could have let me die in the wilderness.
like many having not accomplished your will.
You could have left me to the tormentor.
but you kept your Word.
and made death and hell stand still.
You could have allowed the enemy. to put an incurable sickness on me.
but you used that trial to help me.
walk closer with Thee.
You could have allowed my own destructive decisions.
to be my destiny, but your plans for my life always prevail.

Thats why I thank you,
For being patient with me
thank you for your patience,
patience with me,
thank you Lord for your patience,
patience with me
If it were not for you,
Lord where would I be?
Thats why I thank you,
For being patient with me
