Waiting to Hear from You
Like a candle lights up the darkness
So does Your word light my pathway
Like a farmer plants just to harvest
I need Your word to gain more faith

I can't trust in myself
I must depend on You
I need Your word to guide me through
Through this world of sorrow
A world filled with grief

And like the morning brings in the sunlight
You bring peace to my life
And like the stars that light up the nighttime
You are the star that shines so bright

I cannot trust in myself
I must depend on You
I need Your love to guide me through
A world of pain and sorrow
A world full of misery
I want to know

Is there a word from the Lord
(Is there)
If so, I'm longing to hear
(I'm waiting to hear)
I need to know what, what I must say
What road to take
Waiting to hear from You
(I'm amazed)
Knowing that all You will say is true
Now I'm down on my knees
And I'm waiting to hear from You
Oh, Lord, calling Your name, oh...

My life had no direction
Never could find my way, hey...
You bring peace into my life
And Your peace has come to stay

Waiting to hear from You
Knowing that all You will say is true
Now I'm down on my knees
Waiting to hear from You
Speak, Lord, and Your will I will obey
(I'm just waiting, yeah)
Speak, Lord, and Your will I will obey
(Speak)

A word from You
What will You have to do
We need a word from You
Speak to me, Jesus
We've left our wicked ways
And now we seek Your face
Oh, Lord, we humbly pray
And all we can say is

Yes, yes
(We'll say, we say yes)
(We'll do Your will)
(Please have Your way)
Speak to me, Jesus

Yes, yes
(When I'm down on my knees)
(And You know my heart, Lord)
(Oh-oh-oh...)
Speak to me, Jesus

(In the morning, we will say)
Yes, yes
(In the noonday, we will say)
(In the evening, we will say)
(Speak to me, yeah...)
