Waiting For Lightning

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...

[Chorus]

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...

[Chorus]

He whispers your name
Don't wait, don't wait
