How to wait

You never knew
The touch
Of your mother's arms
You never knew
The proud smile
Of your daddy's love
And you never knew
Someone was hoping for you
Well we were
And we are

All you ever knew
It's hard
To leave behind
And I don't blame you
If you are scared
Out of your mind
It may take some time
To trust us
It may take some time
To love us
But that's okay
We've been learning
How to wait

I guarded my heart a little too
Afraid to fall in love with you
Until I could hold you in my arms
And now the time is drawing near
I know true love can vanish fear
But if not today
We've been learning
How to wait

Everything is new
There's no
Familiar face
All the sights and sounds
And strangeness
Of this place
You may have no
Reservation
Or hold back with
Hesitation
Oh but either way
We've been learning
How to wait

And we will wait for you
Till you find comfort in our arms
And we'll pursue your love
Until you offer us your heart
But if not today
We've been learning
How to wait

I guarded my heart a little too
Afraid to fall in love with you
Until I could hold you in my arms
And now the time is drawing near
I know true love can vanish fear
But if not today
We've been learning
How to wait

In the morning

I can hear you in the morning
The birds are singing all around
Lifting their praises up to heaven
From this lowly ground

I can see you in the morning
In the orange painted skies
The works of your hands embrace me
As I open up my eyes

All around me
You surround me
With the constant blessing
Of your ever presence

I hear you calling
As day is dawning
Wake me Jesus
I want to be
With you

I want to be there in the morning
When you kiss the earth with sun
I want to fix my gaze on heaven
Before the day's begun

I want to meet you in the morning
I want more of who you are
I want you to search me Jesus
Deep inside my heart

All around me
You surround me
With the constant blessing
Of your ever presence

I hear you calling
As day is dawning
Wake me Jesus
I want to be
With you

You dress the lilies
You feed the birds
You know my thoughts
Before they're words
You hear my worries
And all my fears
You silence all that here

All around me
You surround me
With the constant blessing
Of your ever presence

I hear you calling
As day is dawning
Wake me Jesus
I want to be
With you
