Waiting For Lightning
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Standing on the edge of the truth
Looking out at the view of all you used to believe
From where you are you can see you're far away from home
Echoes of the life you once knew
Call out to you from across the divide
And you know it's time to step back over the line, but you're
Waiting for lightning
A sign that it's time for a change
And you're listening for thunder
While He quietly whispers your name
Night falls and the curtain goes down
No one's around It's just you and the truth
As you lie in wait for a feeling to take you by storm
Somewhere in the depths of your heart
where it's empty and dark
There's a flicker of light
And the Spirit calls but do you notice at all, are you
Waiting for lightning
A sign that it's time for a change
And you're listening for thunder
While He quietly whispers your name
But the sign and the word have already been given
And now it's by faith we must look and we must listen, instead of
Waiting for lightning
A sign that it's time for a change
And you're listening for thunder
While He quietly whispers your name
