Verse 1:
Sometimes it's out of the blue
When it’s hard, hard to lend a hand
To someone, someone who needs you
Like a friend living in a tough land

Pre-Chorus:
But time can be something
So hard to give away
But when I put it like that
It sounds sad; terribly so
I know

Chorus:
I think You’re teaching me patience, Lord
I think You’re teaching me patience, Lord
   (O-o-oh)
I want to walk by faith and not by sight
When these pictures try to divide
I think You’re teaching me patience, Lord

Verse 2:
Sometimes it's hard to teach me
When it's tough, tough to understand
Tad funny, funny but sad, see
How much more learning I need to grow

(Pre-Chorus)

Bridge:
But patience seems so hard to learn
When I rush around every turn
Is it possible to slow down?
While my heart is running around

Learning lessons from little ones
Where there’s less of a social code
When it comes to grace, I need tons
Want to see this life You sowed

(Chorus)

Ending:
I think You’re teaching me patience, Lord
(repeat x3)
