Patience Is The Quiet Strength

[Verse 1]
Quiet room, a heavy breath
Someone spoke a hasty word
Weighing every wrong they said
Like a ledger best interred
I could build a fortress now
Raise the drawbridge, turn away
Keep the score of every slight
On a bitter, endless day

[Chorus]
Give the grace you hope to find
Let the jagged edges bind
Drop the stone and let it fall
Forgive a little, heal us all
Patience is the quiet strength
We can measure to its length

[Verse 2]
Difference is a quiet grace
Not a battle to be won
Walking gently in their shoes
'Neath an unexpected sun
Listening before we speak
Bridging distances between
Finding common ground we share
Where the quiet truths convene

[Chorus]
Give the grace you hope to find
Let the jagged edges bind
Drop the stone and let it fall
Forgive a little, heal us all
Patience is the quiet strength
We can measure to its length

[Bridge]
Through the shifting meters of our days
We stumble, but we learn new ways
To open up the bolted door
And be the storm-break on the floor

[Chorus]
Give the grace you hope to find
Let the jagged edges bind
Drop the stone and let it fall
Forgive a little, heal us all
Patience is the quiet strength
We can measure to its length

[Outro]
Forgive...
Be kind...
Endless lines unwind
[Instrumental Fade]
