I Wait On You

With the crown above my head

I sit and wait on you

Wait for your peace to come

And shower me in the rain

I wait on you with listening ears

To hear what you may say

I open my heart to you

And pray you will heal me

Make me feel whole

And remove the lostness

That is in my soul

Cover me with your loving arms

Fill the emptiness

And remove the loneliness

As I know I am not alone

Because you are always with me

You take me by the hand

And walk with me

Down the open and unknown road

Which is laid in front of me

There may be bumps on the road

And stones which fill my shoes

But along the bumpy road

Your hands keep me steady

You will not allow me to stumble

You will not allow me to fall

Because in your strong arms

You carry me all the way home
