"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"
