Waiting

I am the kind of person who can play a song on repeat for days. It drives my sister crazy. I'm sure she is not the only one that it drives crazy. Every so often I will find a new song that I just absolutely fall in love with to the point that I must hear it every possible waking second that I can get away with playing music aloud or jamming earphones into my ears (which increases bacteria in your ears by 700 times for every hour you wear them, so I'm not so sure how much longer I shall be doing that).

My current "repeat song" is a song called "We Wait" by After the Chase, a band I accidentally came across online. But the difference with this song and every other "repeat song" that I've had, is that every time (EVERY time) I listen to it, I have to fight so hard to keep from bursting into tears. Bursting into tears does not mean just merely tearing up. I mean outright sobbing. IN PUBLIC. I'm not sure why. I guess there is just something about it that affects me. Ah, but it is such a great song. There are no lyrics available online, so I tried to write them out from listening to it, but I may have gotten a word or two wrong.


We Wait

God of the broken
God of the suffering
God of the people who cry out for Him
And wait

God of the empty
God of the lonely
God of the hungry who call out to You
And wait, and need

And we wait, and we wait
And we wait to hear Your voice
To feel Your touch
To know Your love
To know You're here with us

God of the dreamless
God of the desperate
God of the worn out we cry out to You
God of the fearful
God of the weary
God of the tortured we cry out to You
And wait, and need

And we wait, and we wait
and we wait to hear your voice
to feel your touch
to know your love
and we wait, and we wait

Where are you
(I don't know)
Where are you
(Where you are)
Where are you
(I need to see)
Where are you
(Your face tonight)

We are broken
(I am so broken)
We are suffering
(Suffering)
We are worn out
(Worn out)
We are weary
(Where are you?)
We are fearful
(I need you)
We are hungry
(I need your touch)
We are desperate
(I need your love)
We are guilty

Where are you?
(Where are you?)
Where are you?
(Where are you?)
Where are you?
(I need you now)
Where are you?

And we wait, and we wait
And we wait to hear your voice
To feel your touch
To know your love
And we wait, and we wait
And we wait to hear your voice
To feel your touch
To know your love
To hear your voice
To feel your touch
To hear your voice
To know your love
To know you're here with us

God of the broken
God of the suffering
God of the people who cry out for Him
And wait.
