Waiting Here for You


If faith can move the mountains
Let the mountains move
We come with expectation
Waiting here for You, waiting here for You

You're the Lord of all creation
And still you know my heart
The Author of salvation
You've loved us from the start

Waiting here for You
With our hands lifted high in praise
And it's You we adore
Singing Alleluia

You are everything you've promised
Your faithfulness is true
And we're desperate for your presence
All we need is You

Waiting here for You, Lord
With our hands lifted high in praise
And it's you, Lord, we adore
Singing Alleluia

We will wait for You, Lord, we'll stand with You
We will sing alleluia
Singing Alleluia, alleluia
Singing Alleluia, alleluia

Waiting here for You
With our hands lifted high in praise
And it's You we adore, we adore
Singing Alleluia

Waiting here for You
With our hands lifted high in praise
And it's You we adore
Singing Alleluia, singing Alleluia

Waiting here for You
With our hands lifted high in praise
And it's You we adore, with our lives
Singing Alleluia, singing Alleluia

Childlike

"Becoming a child again is exactly what God wants. This is the point of abandoning. He wants us to look at the world through new eyes, eyes that see beauty and joy and excitement in all things, even the most ordinary of circumstances. He wants us to give up our control and to trust Him. Abandoning reminds us to be childlike in the middle of life at a time when we've long forgotten what it's like to be a child. This is why we leave; it's why we go on a journey in the first place."

Soon


One day soon I will get to walk the red, rocky paths again. Holding a sweaty little hand in mine. Marveling at my barefooted companions. Admiring the tropical foliage and sunshine. Worshipping the God who made it all. I can’t wait.
