Waiting - Rich Mullins

Stand on the corner I watch my breath freeze in the air

See how it lifts and then vanishes

But I know You’re still there

Well I’ve got nowhere else to go

'Cause the only life that I know comes from You

And I can’t walk away

Though the truth is that it can be so hard to wait

When a million voices whisper and they tell me I should leave

Into the shadows that the moon casts

On these alleys and these streets

But I know that chasing shadows won’t get me anywhere

'Cause I’ve been there

So I stand on the promise 'cause I know that the promise is sure

That it comes from beyond us and tells us again

That there’s a whole 'nother world

Well the one I’m in keeps spinning 'round

But I want to stay right here 'cause I found You

And I can’t walk away

Though the truth is that it can be so hard to wait

When a million voices whisper and they tell me I should leave

Into the shadows that the moon casts

On these alleys and these streets

But I know that chasing shadows won’t get me anywhere

'Cause I’ve been there

So I’m waiting for You Jesus

'Cause I know that those who wait

They will mount with wings like eagles

They will run and not grow faint

They will walk and not grow weary

Their strength will be renewed

Coming from You

So I wait

I’m waiting for You

Waiting for You

So come back soon

I’m waiting for You
