And I don t know how much longer I can even care.
2. O Lord, You work miracles. Can you work a miracle in me? Because I am lost. You may have laid a path before me, but I can t find it, and it feels like I have been wandering in circles forever. 1. O Lord, You work miracles. Can you work a miracle in me? Because my heart is hard, and my hands feel brittle. It has been so long since I felt anything real, I m not sure I still can. 2. O Lord, You work miracles. Can you work a miracle in me? Because my heart is broken. Broken over love lost, relationships that don t work, and the pain of so many in the world.
