The Detour
by FAITHFUL, Sarah Kroger, Savannah Locke, Tamar Chipp

Album: The London Sessions - Live

Verse 1
Don't let my heart grow cold or despise the wait
This is not unkindness, this is not disgrace
I am not passed over in my suffering
You hold my broken heart and my broken dreams

Pre-Chorus
Your love has held me warmly through the night
And I have seen Your faithfulness with my own eyes

Chorus
You've been good to me, I am safe to hope
I will dare to believe when the way is long and slow
And I am full of doubt but You are kind and close
I will trust the detour is the road

Verse 2
I will not pretend that it comes easily
To follow when I'm sure I know what's best for me
I've got lots of questions but I know the truth
That I have never lived a day apart from You

Pre-Chorus
And somehow every unexpected climb
Makes Your goodness that much harder to deny

Chorus
You've been good to me, I am safe to hope
I will dare to believe when the way is long and slow
And I am full of doubt but You are kind and close
I will trust the detour is the road

Bridge
This time will not be wasted
All the sorrow I have tasted
You sing hope across the valley of my tears
Sometimes love looks like delay
But You walk me through the wait
And I am learning laughter even here
You are with me here

Chorus
You've been good to me, I am safe to hope
I will dare to believe when the way is long and slow
You've been good to me, I am safe to hope
I will dare to believe when the way is long and slow
And I am full of doubt but You are kind and close
And I will trust (But You are kind)
Oh, I will trust (Oh, I will trust)
The detour is the road
(It's the road, yes, it's the road)
The detour is the road

Outro
Ooh-ooh-ooh (Yeah, yeah)
Oh-oh-oh
