Shai Linne, Melissa T. - Lord of Patience lyrics

Heavenly Father
We come to You in the name of Jesus
It's because of His righteousness that
We pray You receive this lord, you're holy
We shouldn't even be in Your presence
Due to our sin
We don't deserve the least of Your blessings
But through the cross and believing
That Jesus is risen
Even the worst of sinners can
Be redeemed and forgiven
I'm living proof when I say this
And these are truthful statements
You're beautiful when displaying
Your unusual patience
You take the blasphemous- pridefully
Stuck in our blindness
Instead of smashing us
Decided to love us with kindness
Even with unbelievers facing Your terror
You slow up


Like when You waited patiently in
The era of Noah we know that with You
A day is just like a thousand years
So does that mean for every sin
You cry a thousand tears?
Who can record Your graces? Adored
Through scores of ages
Your reward is the nations
For You are the Lord of patience

Our Sovereign God, You are
The Lord of Patience, yeah
Your wrath, Oh God, we deserve
Christ has taken, yeah

Gracious God, You are slow to anger, yeah
You're Lord of patience and
You love us patiently

Lord, we worship You
We know that everything we owe You
And when we reflect on the time
Before we came to know You
How we were unbelievers committing
Tons of treason we had a hundred reasons why
We wouldn't come to Jesus
But they were all excuses because
Our thoughts were useless
That's what the dark produces, Father
You already knew this
We were foolish and clueless
Just as ruthless as Judas
Who knew that You would choose to pursue
Us and move to woo us
So after waiting with patience as
We would run from You
You activated our faith so that
We would come to You
Your law exposed our sin so that
We would know the danger
And take refuge in the Holy
Savior who's slow to anger
And as our teary eyes beheld
The cross of our King we understood the true
Meaning of long-suffering
Who can record Your graces? Adored
Through scores of ages
Your reward is the nations
For You are the Lord of patience

Our Sovereign God, You are
The Lord of Patience, yeah
Your wrath, Oh God, we deserve
Christ has taken, yeah

Gracious God, You are slow to anger, yeah
You're Lord of patience and
You love us patiently

And now that we're in Christ
The thing that is amazing to us
Is that You still continue to
Display Your patience to us
Through all our stumbles and
Falls and our idolatry
Through all our grumbling and
All of our hypocrisy our self-righteousness
With brothers and sisters we're hostile
Our unforgiveness- all because we're
Just missing the gospel
We should be slow to anger
But Your Word- we're slow to hear it
Oh Father
Help us please,! We truly need Your Holy Spirit!
He is the only Person who can
Shape this fruit within us
We praise the risen Savior who
Is able to present us
Without an ounce of blame
With zero doubt or shame lord Jesus
Down You came from heaven
To announce Your reign
In the hearts of Your people
And now we have the truth
And gladly choose to praise You
For all of Your attributes
Who can record Your graces? Adored
Through scores of ages
Your reward is the nations
For You are the Lord of patience

Our Sovereign God, You are
The Lord of Patience, yeah
Your wrath, Oh God, we deserve
Christ has taken, yeah

Gracious God, You are slow to anger, yeah
You're Lord of patience and
You love us patiently
