Rich Mullins - Waiting Lyrics

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
