[Verse 1]
God I'm wrestling with the waiting again, again
My impatience a disease in this cage for mice and men
They say, "boy, you better keep running," but this pace I can't sustain
My head knows to trust You but the heart of me is slain

[Chorus]
Faithful are the wounds of a Friend
Faithful are the dealings of Your hand
The troubles and the trials like the gold refined in fire
Faithful are the wounds of a Friend

[Verse 2]
God these questions, they just won't leave me alone, alone, alone
Will this crushing ever end, or is this ache now my home?
Am I a prisoner of hope, or just the warden of my pain?
My head knows to trust You but the heart of me is slain

[Chorus]
Faithful are the wounds of a Friend
Faithful are the dealings of Your hand
The troubles and the trials like the gold refined in fire
Faithful are the wounds of a Friend

[Bridge]
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, mmm
Oh, oh, oh, mmm
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
[Outro]
And faithful are the wounds of a Friend
Faithful like the tides pulled by Your hand
I've learned to kiss the waves that push my soul into the caves
Faithful are the wounds of a Friend
