As long as I've known her she has been lost Almost forgotten, like a fleeting thought It's been years since I've seen her, years since we've talked I've heard of her struggles and they've broken my heart There were battles she chose not to fight How I wish she could have been stronger And I prayed for her night after night But I just can't pray any harder Lord, teach her to walk in the truth of all that she is in You Show her the beauty that's waiting to fully break through You're the only light for the day, the only One who brings rain Like a flower she'll bloom as she opens her life up to You There are prodigal daughters and there are prodigal sons ashamed of the people they've finally become All they see are the failures of their wayward lives The marks of the journey left them wounded inside There were battles they chose not to fight How I wish they could've been stronger And I prayed for them night after night Till I just can't pray any harder Lord, teach them to walk in the truth of all that they are in You Show them the beauty that's waiting to fully break through You're the only light for the day, the only One who brings rain Like a flower they'll bloom as they open their lives up to You There are times when we sum up our lives by all the mistakes that we've made But there's a Savior who will take every weakness and turn it for good Even for those who've been lost on the way Lord, teach us to walk in the truth of all that we are in You Like a flower we'll bloom as we open our lives up to You
