I am waiting for love
I am waiting for Thee
I am waiting for patience
I am waiting to see
What thou hast in store for me
What thou heart has planned
The depth of thy mercy
The grace from thy hand
I am waiting, dear Lord
Hear my soul prayer
Grant me thy vision
Lend me thy ear
So I could hear fully
And I could know trust
That thy way is best
I will wait if I must
Good, positive, exciting things
Please come my way
Lift me up
Carry my tears away
I know you will
I know you’re there
I’ve called your name
I’m out to meet you
Come here to stay
Waiting
For a payoff that will never happen
For the jackpot that will never strike
For the love that will never be felt
For the friendship to be whole
When it is, and was always
Splintered
empty bench covered in leaves
wind shaking tired trees
dry wood and rusted metal
scent of fall’s fresh breath
cool air kissing me
alone and lonely
I spent hours, minutes, days and years
Waiting for a touch of kindness
Love from you
My waiting is over
The need is gone
Time before me
Is mine to fill
Until the sun goes down.
If you want me
Come and get me
If you need me
Tell me so
If you love
The way I talk
My every move
The way I walk
Search me
Till you find me
I am waiting
I’ll be yours
I’m out of words
I’m out of verse
Out of spice
And all things nice
I look around
And feel within
I wait and trust
For your love to win
We waited for you
And as each train steamed by
We held our breath
Hoping that this would be the one
Until our hope lay dead
In the very tracks that had taken you
Away from where you belong
