Heavenly Father, You're the one we're waiting on
Because without You there's no way that I can stay strong
I can't go on any longer on my own so hear me when I say
Heavenly Father, we need Your help today
I'm ringing Your bell, yes, it's me
Come on now let me in, I've got to see You
And no one else will do, I need Your help
You said if ever there was a time, a time I needed you
You would come through
And if ever there was a time, a time we needed You
Heavenly Father, You're the one we're waiting on
Because without You there's no way that I can stay strong
I can't go on any longer on my own so hear me when I say
Heavenly Father, we need Your help today
Lord, I'm sorry for all the wrong I've done
And You say, You know it really doesn't matter at all
And I'm gonna make it 'cause Your word said I could and I believe
You said if ever there was a time, a time I needed You
I could get through
And if ever there was a time, a time we needed You, oh yeah
Heavenly Father, You're the one we're waiting on
Because without You there's no way that I can stay strong
I can't go on any longer on my own so hear me when I say
Heavenly Father, we need Your help today
And if ever there was a time, a time we needed you
Yes if ever there was a time, a time we needed You
You know that it's everyday, everyday
We need You in ever way, ever way
We know that it's everyday
Heavenly Father, You're the one we're waiting on
Because without You there's no way that I can stay strong
I can't go on any longer on my own so hear me when I say
Heavenly Father, we need Your
Heavenly Father, You're the one we're waiting on
Because without You there's no way that I can stay strong
I can't go on and on, on my own so hear me when I say
Heavenly Father, we need Your love, Your love
Need Your love, we need Your love today
