Jessi Alexander
Canyon Prayer
Time after time, I've turned away from you, 
When all I had to do was surrender to your love. 
You've seen me stumble, you've watched me fall, 
And though I heard you call, I just wasn't strong enough. 
But there's an emptiness inside without you in my life: 
Lord, I hope you hear my prayer tonight. 
Won't you blind my eyes when all I see is temptation. 
Break my stride when I'm runnin' from the truth. 
An' tie my hands when I reach out with desire. 
Go on an' do what you must do, 
Whatever you must take me through till I turn to you. 
Yeah. 
I know that others fall down on their knees for mercy, 
But you may have to hurt me before I see the light. 
'Cause I've grown as far as I can go by myself: 
I need your help if I'm gonna get it right. 
Tired of strugglin' every day, 
I wanna know the way, 
So now the only prayer I wanna pray: 
Is just blind my eyes when all I see is temptation. 
Break my stride when I'm runnin' from the truth. 
An' tie my hands when I reach out with desire. 
Go on an' do what you must do, 
Whatever you must put me through till I turn to you. 
Yeah. 
Blind my eyes; 
Break my stride; 
Whatever you want to be denied; 
Whatever you must do. 
An' tie my hands; 
Ignore my demands; 
Build a wall that stands so high, I can't get through, 
Till I turn to you, yeah. 
Until I turn to you. 
'Cause I wanna turn to you, 
Oh, yeah. 
Oooh. 
Oooh.
