The Wait Won't Be Wasted Lyrics

Oh, oh, oh

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

But when I turn around

What I thought was a drought held the rain

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

Pain can cast a long shadow

That covers the sun

But the pain of refining

Holds a sweet silver lining when it's done

I'm finally starting to see it

These glimpses of truth

Oh, my heart may be broken

But I'm so glad it brought me to You

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

Oh, oh, oh

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

So I will press on to what lies ahead

Though I haven't seen it

Cause even Jesus had to bear the cross

But there was a meaning

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

Oh, oh, oh
