Written by Rick Elias, Mark Robertson, and Rich Mullins
With Your hand you wrote upon my heart
What my head has yet to believe
And with Your light you shine a path
That my eyes can barely see, though it's right in front of me
With Your mercy You have closed the book
My guilty conscience opens up to read
And Your footprints mark the trail
That I stray from constantly, though it's right in front of me
You know, it's right in front of me, oh, know it's right on front of me
Chorus:
But if I ever learn what my heart already knows
And not feel the hurt that I wear on my sleeve,
But the laughter that burns inside my soul
Let the child come alive, and drive away these ghosts
You know my head ain't even close to what my heart already knows
All my life I've tried to find it
Searching for a reason and a rhyme
Though you've always lead the way
I will still get lost sometimes
How could I be so blind?
And though my father is the richest king
I sit alone within my poverty
And though Your light still shines the path
That my eyes can barely see, I know it's right in front of me
Yeah, it's right in front of me, you know it's right in front of me
Chorus
Lord I'm asking for this sign
Light my heart up with my mind
