I'm tired, do I have to keep proving myself?
I'm weary and drawing from an empty well
I need You more than I ever have
So, Jesus, come and shatter my darkness somehow
And I won't speak until You speak
I won't move until You move me
I won't sing, sing over me
I will wait as long as it takes
I'm restless for something significant
But I'm helpless 'cause I've done all I can
I want You more than I ever have
So, Jesus, come and hold me, I'm shaking right now
And I won't speak until You speak
I won't move until You move me
I won't sing, sing over me
I will wait as long as it takes
You are the comforter so comfort me
You're the sustainer so be enough for me
You are my Father and Your love for me
Is where I'll find my rest
I won't speak
And I won't speak until You speak
I won't move until You move me
I won't sing, sing over me
I will wait as long as it takes
Jesus, I will wait as long as it takes
