about

We all spend time waiting don't we. Waiting to be married... waiting for the big break... the right job... to have a baby... to get through the line at the grocery store... to get home through rush hour traffic.

There's nothing required of you while you wait. But somehow, it is capable of causing so much anguish.

To the degree that I can trust that there is an all mighty God who knows my heart, and is working on my behalf for my good, is the degree that I can wait with any peace at all. Don't get me wrong. I hate waiting. It's never easy. This song might suggest to you that I have waiting down to a science.

Nope.
Not at all.

lyrics

Here in the waiting all will live for a time
Here in the waiting, pain lives next door to laughter
Here in the waiting a heart builds a house on the edge
And looks long and hard for a sign below
Looks long and hard for a sign

Chorus:
Time passes much slower here
Have we met here before
I've grown acustomed to living here
And I don't mind anymore

But what has brought you here
And is there a purpose to cover your fears
What would you ask of your Maker
If you're lonely, than listen
And learn from the fullness of time

Time passes much slower here
Have we been here before
I've grown acustomed to living here
And I don't mind anymore

So put away the binoculars and telescopes and such
And gaze at the fullness of time

Time passes much slower here
But I know what it's for
I've grown acustomed to living here
And I don't mind anymore

I've put away the binoculars and telescopes and such
And I gaze at the face of my GOD.
