When The Time Comes

For every soul there is a midnight

When it's silent in the room but loud inside

You lie awake what seems like forever

And you wrestle with the big stuff that can not be denied

All of life

Has led you to this moment

When the time comes

And the games are finally over

There's no more pretending

All charades are done

And the time comes

When the soul is finally ready

You know the truth and

This time you don't run

God is waiting there, you'll find

When the time comes

For every soul there is a dawning

When we see there's more to life than we believed

Faith is that one road that's left to travel

But it means we have to start to trust what we can't see

Then at last

We chose to take that first step

He'll rush

He'll reach

He'll run

He'll do

Anything to get to you

This is a beautiful song that I'm privileged to sing lead on. It's about finally coming to a place of readiness to receive from God.....giving up control. I think it's easy to fool ourselves sometime and think we've completely given everything over the Christ, when actually, we are still holding on to everything we have, trying to do things our own way. God knows our hearts and just how much we've given over to Him. The songs says "there's no more pretending, all charades are done." We don't have to play games with God. He knows it all anyway.
