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."

--"Kingdom Journeys" by Seth Barnes

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.

Haitian Creole Proverb

This is a good proverb about the past:

Pa rele “fèmen baryè!” lè chwal fin pase.

 

“Don’t yell, ‘Close the gate!’ after the horse has already gone out.” What’s done is done.

Ready, Set, Go!

Lived so long with my eyes on me

Too deaf to hear, too blind to see

Broken hearts on the city streets but

I can hear that You're calling me to

Be the hope, be the light,

Be the love right now

Oh, You put my life in motion

Your love makes me want to give my all

Ready, Set, Go

Ready, Set, Go

So no, I'm not holding back anymore

Like an engine ready to explode

Ready, Set, Go

Ready, Set, Go

Can't stop, this clock is counting down

So many lost waiting to be found

I will go where You're leading me, God

Reach my hands to the least of these

Be the hope, be the light,

Be the love right now

Starting right now

Oh, You put my life in motion

Your love makes me want to give my all

Ready, Set, Go

Ready, Set, Go

So no, I'm not holding back anymore

Like an engine ready to explode

Ready, Set, Go

Ready, Set, Go

Give me the green light, Show me the finish line

No more spinning in circles, No more wasting time

So let it start today, Where I flip the switch and say

You're my light, I won't fight, I'll go wherever You say

To the top of the highest mountain, to the bottom of every valley

I'll be the spark that turns into the grand finale

This love is something everyone needs to know

Hearts are calling, no more stalling, it's just

Ready, Set, Go

Broken hearts on the city streets but

I can hear that You're calling me to

Be the hope, be the light,

Be the love right now, Starting right now

Oh, You put my life in motion

Your love makes me want to give my all

Ready, Set, Go

Ready, Set, Go

So no, I'm not holding back anymore

Like an engine ready to explode

I'm Ready, Set, Go

Ready, Set, Go
