(Hallelujah)
Waiting for the dawn in the middle of the night.
Yes Lord.
The chair is empty where the laughter used to bloom,
A heavy shadow lingering inside this quiet room.
I held a dream so close, I felt the heartbeat start,
But then the silence settled deep within my aching heart.
Is there a purpose in the tears that never seem to dry?
Why does the sky turn gray when I am looking for the light?
Oh, I’m waiting for Your timing in the hollow of the pain,
I’m trusting in the promise that the sun will rise again.
Though the silence feels like distance, I am holding to Your hand,
Resting in the wisdom that I cannot understand.
Glory, glory, You are near, even when I cannot see,
Your timing is the anchor for the soul of me.
I counted every moment, I looked for signs of grace,
Searching for a miracle within this lonely place.
They say that weeping lasts a night and joy comes in the morn,
But God, the night is long and I am feeling so outworn.
Yet in the wrestling, I find a strength I never knew,
I'm letting go of my own will to reach for more of You.
Oh, I’m waiting for Your timing in the hollow of the pain,
I’m trusting in the promise that the sun will rise again.
Though the silence feels like distance, I am holding to Your hand,
Resting in the wisdom that I cannot understand.
Glory, glory, You are near, even when I cannot see,
Your timing is the anchor for the soul of me.
It’s not a denial, it’s a refining fire,
Pulling me higher, lifting me higher.
I surrender the clock, I surrender the fear,
I know You’re moving, I know You are near.
(Praise Him, thank You Jesus)
So I will wait upon the Lord with hope that doesn't fade,
I’ll find the peace within the mess that broken hearts have made.
My expectation isn't just for what my eyes can view,
But for the holy transformation that You’re bringing through.
Amen, amen, the wait is part of Your design.
Oh, I’m waiting for Your timing in the hollow of the pain,
I’m trusting in the promise that the sun will rise again.
Though the silence feels like distance, I am holding to Your hand,
Resting in the wisdom that I cannot understand.
Glory, glory, You are near, even when I cannot see,
Your timing is the anchor for the soul of me.
Your timing is the anchor.
Yes, Lord, I will wait.
I will praise You through the silence.
Thank You Jesus, Amen.
