Rich Mullins Waiting Lyrics

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"
