Here’s to the one who waits
For the bigger and better
And holds close their wishes
For the end of an era
Even the immovable rock
Is shaped and struck
By wind and waves
That obey Him
Here’s to the one who waits
The one who prays
For time to wash away
The agony of longing
Pant for His streams
Of living water
And rest in ease
For He is with you
Here’s to the one who waits
At the narrow gate
Leaning into the pain
Hoping He will move
Such a foundation
Means that we, yes,
Even we, can cast
Mountains into the sea
Here’s to the one who waits
The one who stills
Their heart and says
Not my will
Awaiting the steady
E’er-beating thrum
Of a new life
Not yet begun
Here’s to the one who waits
In the Lord
For the strength
He has in store
