The Wait Won’t Be Wasted Lyrics by Out of the Dust

Stages

0

[Verse 1]
The world's spinning faster and faster
But I’m standing still
I'm holding these questions
While second guessing what to feel
Days keep passing and passing
They've all felt the same
Oh, but when I turn around
What I thought was a drought held the rain
[Chorus]
I know that there is purpose in this waiting
Hope’s alive and strength is rising in this place
I'm tired and hurting, weary and worried
But I know there's joy up ahead
'Cause You said, "The wait won't be wasted"
[Verse 2]
Pain can cast a long shadow
That covers the sun
But the pain of refining holds a sweet silver lining
When it's done
Yeah, I'm finally starting to see it
The glimpses of truth
Oh, my heart may be broken
But I'm so glad it brought me to You, yeah
[Chorus]
I know that there is purpose in this waiting
Hope’s alive and strength is rising in this place
I’m tired and hurting, weary and worried
But I know there's joy up ahead
’Cause You said, "The wait won't be wasted"
[Bridge]
You didn't spare Daniel from the lion's den
But You spared him in it
You didn’t keep them from the fiery furnace
But You were there with them, yeah
So I will press on to what lies ahead
Though I haven't seen it, oh
'Cause even Jesus had to bear the cross
But there was a meaning
[Chorus]
I know that there is purpose in this waiting
Hope's alive and strength is rising in this place
I'm tired and hurting, weary and worried
But I know there's joy up ahead
'Cause You said, "The wait won't be wasted"
