Lyrics for Lonely Years

It's been a long time since I prayed Let the words fall where they may Forgive me now for what I'm about say Tired of being on my knees Sick of begging you please Since the day you took him away from me God, now how much more do I have to hurt? How far down do you wanna see me go, tell me God, you don't know the sadness of this place You've got the angels and the saints So give me back my love, love Don't you think I'm lone, lonely enough? You've got the power in your hands To change the master plan Every star and every grain of sand You can bring him back today Just roll the stone away Before there's nothing left of me to save God, now how much more do I have to hurt? How far down do you wanna see me go, tell me? God, you don't know the sadness of this place You've got the angels and the saints So give me back my love, love Don't you think I'm lone, lonely enough? God, now how much more do I have to hurt? How far down do you wanna see me go, tell me? God, you don't know the sadness of this place Show me amazing grace And give me back my love, love Don't you think I'm lone, lonely enough? Won't you give me back my love, love? Don't you think I'm lone, lonely enough? Don't you think I'm lone, lonely enough?
