Benediction
(Wayne Kirkpatrick/Billy Simon)

I long for the shape of things
To be true to their form
Love in a circle
Hearts in a line
Molded by sacred design

But I see a diversity of opinion unfold
Discerning masons building a wall
But I need help to stand
Not to fall

I'm taking a road that I've never been down
I'm doing the best I can
I really believe I'm where I need to be now
Tell me you understand

CHORUS
I'm following a voice
In faithful pursuit
I'm searching my soul
To do what I'm called to do
I need your benediction
Where's your benediction
I'm battling the odds
Through faces of doubt
And it would mean so much
If you could send me out
With your benediction
I need your benediction

Don't turn and close your eyes
To the vision I see
Don't leave me defenseless in fields of reproach
Now, when I need you the most

I'm taking a road that I've never been down
Tell me that you'll be there
Helping to turn a discouraging word
Into a word of prayer

CHORUS
