Waiting For Lightning - Steven Curtis Chapman

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 lightening

A sign that it’s time for a change

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 and 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 know notice at all?

Or are you…

Waiting for lightening

A sign that it’s time for a change

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

That we must look, and we must listen

Instead of…

Waiting for lightening

A sign that it’s time for a change

You’re listening for thunder

While He quietly whispers your name

He whispers your name

Don’t wait, don’t wait
