[Verse 1]
Thirty-seven years of sharing,
Then an empty chair at home.
I missed the sound of someone caring,
And the life that we had known.
I tried to write another chapter,
Tried to make somebody stay.
Now I bring my heart to Yahweh,
And ask Him to guide my way.
[Chorus]
Better to be alone in peace
Than lose myself to hold someone.
Yahweh, help my striving cease;
Let Your wisdom lead me on.
I won’t lean on what I understand,
I place my future in Your hands.
Though I long for love again,
I will wait and trust Your plan.
[Verse 2]
Loneliness can hide the warnings,
Make a promise sound so true.
But love is patient, love is gentle,
Shown in what we say and do.
Give me eyes to see the difference,
Give me strength to walk away
From a love that asks me to surrender
What You teach me to obey.
[Chorus]
Better to be alone in peace
Than lose myself to hold someone.
Yahweh, help my striving cease;
Let Your wisdom lead me on.
I won’t lean on what I understand,
I place my future in Your hands.
Though I long for love again,
I will wait and trust Your plan.
[Bridge]
Waiting doesn’t mean I’m broken,
Or that life has passed me by.
You are near the heavyhearted;
You can hear my quiet cry.
Keep my heart both wise and open,
Help me live each day with grace.
There is still a life worth living,
Still a purpose in this place.
[Final Chorus]
Better to be alone in peace
Than lose myself to hold someone.
Yahweh, help my striving cease;
Let Your wisdom lead me on.
If I share my life again,
Help us walk in truth as friends.
Till then, guide me day by day—
In Your hands, Yahweh, I’ll stay.
[Outro]
I still hope for love again…
But I leave it in Your hands.
