Why Keep Heaven Waiting Lyrics by Jonathan Young, Judge & Jury

Children of Night

2023

[Verse 1]
Why keep heaven waiting?
Why not see it now?
What's the point in wasting all this time?
Why keep heaven waiting?
I could be looking down
All these fruitless mountains I would climb
[Pre-Chorus]
Surely God can forgive my impatience
Just a lost little child he won’t burn
And if he won't just come down here and save us
Tell me why I must wait for my turn
[Chorus]
When I have run out of reasons to live
I've given all that I can give
Send me an angel
[Verse 2]
Why keep heaven waiting?
I need to know the truth
Why aren’t we just dancing to our deaths?
Sit and watch us fading
Never given proof
Why not stop this sick and twisted test?
[Pre-Chorus]
Surely God can forgive my impatience
In this cruel little world he designed
And if I can forgive his complacence
Does his punishment still fit my crime
[Chorus]
When I have run out of reasons to live
I've given all that I can give
Am I ungrateful?
When I listened to all of the lies
Cried all the tears I can cry
Send me an angel
[Bridge]
And what if you're wrong?
What if there's no one waiting?
No one I'm disobeying
No one to hear me praying
Why keep heaven waiting?
[Chorus]
I have run out of reasons to live
I've given all that I can give
Am I ungrateful?
'Cause I listened to all of the lies
Cried all the tears I can cry
Send me an angel or let me die
