I've been away for a little while
And I don't like where it takes me
Out of touch I'm going out of my mind
It's times like these that really break me
So here I am all alone
I'm waiting on You
Just a word will get me through
I need to hear from You
Before this night is through
I need to hear from You
So I'm waiting, waiting just to hear from you
My whole world is turning upside down
When I'm lacking in direction
I don't care if it takes all night
I need to feel Your sweet affection
So let me hear words of life
I'm lost without You
Speak to me the way You do
I've been here in this place before
And You're not the one to blame
I need to know what You have in store
So I'm on my knees callin' out Your name
I need to hear from You
Deep inside my heart
I need to hear from You
Just a still small voice is gonna get me through
