Praying For Discernment

I used to jump at every door Every knock I called it fate Named my hopes "a sign from heaven" Found out some were just my haste Every smile I thought was truth Every promise Pure and clean Took a while to learn the difference Between what’s said and what it means I’m praying for discernment Not just what I wanna hear Show me where the gold is Show me where to walk in fear Give me heart and give me wisdom Teach my eyes what I can’t see I don’t need it to be easy I just need it to be real to me I’ve seen wolves wear Sunday faces Quoting words they never live I’ve seen quiet people shaking ’Cause they gave all they could give Now I listen past the language Past the sparkle and the spin Is it kind when no one’s watching? Does the outside match within? I’m praying for discernment Not just what I wanna hear Show me where the gold is Show me where to walk in fear Give me heart and give me wisdom Teach my eyes what I can’t see I don’t need it to be easy I just need it to be real to me Let me question what I’m certain of (oh) Let me doubt what flatters me If it costs me my illusions Let it buy integrity I’m praying for discernment Not just what I wanna hear Cut through all the noise and stories Leave the quiet truth right here Give me heart and give me wisdom Teach my eyes what I can’t see I don’t need it to be simple I just need it to be real to me song: Suno idea: Hope Wolfe
