Words are flying out like endless rain
Into my wishing well
They speak so clear, they sound so real to me
Grace comes floating like a warm embrace
Of one who loves to love
I turn the page, I burn the rage, I’m free

Pardon me
I’ve been too weak to make it on my own
Pardon me
I’ve left the road where mercy is unknown

Now I see your words in beauty rising
Singing love will be the key
Time has not been warned yet
That it drifts on numbered days
I see the mountains pass
The days won’t last on through
In the room where you live blessed
I feel my heart is put to rest
The world in which I dance
Lies in your hands

Pardon me
I’ve been too weak to make it on my own
Pardon me
I’ve left the road where mercy is unknown
Now I see your words are rising
Like a million suns setting me free

Behind the Song:
'It’s a song about how we try to do it on our own so many times without God. It speaks of getting on our knees at the end of an evening after feeling so empty inside and calling out in prayer. Because I’m human, nearly everyday I find myself asking God to pardon me for the many things I did that went against Him.' - Sarah Brendel
