My Mom Always Told Me Patience was a Virture

You found me crying
As blood mixed with tears
I needed a change of pace
Something to lift my eyes
I had given up, but now...

I found a place here.
Patience, my savior, thank you God.
This deliverance has solidified my wavering hope.
(Y)ou've saved me.

Despite the consistency, I'm continually surprised.
Despite what tomorrow may bring,
I'll accept it all in stride.
I'm getting up, moving up, and heading out.
Yes dear, I'm moving on.

The morning is here
I never thought I'd escape
This nightmare is at an end
No, life isn't perfect, but
None of that matters because...

I found a place here.
Patience, my savior, thank you God.
This deliverance has solidified my wavering hope.
(Y)ou've saved me.

Despite the consistency, I'm continually surprised.
Despite what tomorrow may bring,
I'll accept it all in stride.
I'm getting up, moving up, and heading out.
Yes dear, I'm moving on.

Again, I'm crying
Springing forth for freedom
Two hundred and forty seven days
And I've found life anew
Because you shattered my chains

I found a place here.
Patience, my savior, thank you God.
This deliverance has solidified my wavering hope.
(Y)ou've saved me.

Despite the consistency, I'm continually surprised.
Despite what tomorrow may bring,
I'll accept it all in stride.
I'm getting up, moving up, and heading out.
Yes dear, I'm moving on.

Thank you God, thank you dear friend
Eight months and I've found release
Just when I thought....

But I'm getting up, moving up, heading out
Standing up, turning north, and leaving this behind
Yes dear, I'm moving on.
