"Praying" lyrics

If I could go back twenty years ago
I'd wrap my arms around you Jesus
Tell you just how much I love you so
I love you so

I was just too young, too blind to see
That you were everything I ever needed
But this wild heart still had to chase my dreams
My crazy dreams

I aimed and gave it my best shot
I worked my way straight to the top
But deep inside of me
I still felt something missing
It took a while to realize
My greater purpose in this life
Is to glorify you God with gifts that I've been given
Forgive me Lord, I know that you've been waiting
But from this day on, you'll finally find me praying
Oh, praying

So thankful that you say it's not too late
To come back home and call you Father
Ask forgiveness for all of my mistakes
All my mistakes

I fought, like a stubborn soul
Yeah, I thought, I was in control
But, you caught, me when I was falling
Now, it's my calling

I aimed and gave it my best shot
I worked my way straight to the top
But deep inside of me
I still felt something missing
It took a while to realize
My greater purpose in this life
Is to glorify you God with gifts that I've been given
Forgive me Lord, I know that you've been waiting
But from this day on, you'll finally find me praying

How can it be better?
With you, I'll live forever
I put my hands together, and pray

It took a while to realize
My greater purpose in this life
Is to glorify you God with gifts that I've been given
Forgive me Lord, I know that you've been waiting (Waiting)
But from this day on, you'll finally find me
Ooh oh yeah, praying
Glorifying your name

You gave me hope, you gave me strength
Lord, you're all I'll ever need
Oh, praying, praying
Praying
Oh now, I'm praying, praying
Praying
Lord, I'm praying
