[Verse 1]
I set one plate for two
by the worn-out sink
I keep the window open
for the life I think
The house is still
but my heart stays lit
I’ve loved you long
before I ever met
[Pre-Chorus]
I know the night gets long
I know the ache gets loud
Still I fold my hands
and I don’t back down
[Chorus]
He’ll come one day
He’ll come one day
God knows my name
and He hears me pray
He’ll come one day
He’ll come one day
I’ll get my home
I’ll get my babe
[Verse 2]
I dream of muddy shoes
at the doorstep there
Little feet in the hall
and your coat on a chair
A laugh in the kitchen
A hand in my hair
A table full of grace
and a life we share
[Pre-Chorus]
I know the road feels bare
I know the tears fall down
Still I keep your place
at the edge of town
[Chorus]
He’ll come one day
He’ll come one day
God knows my name
and He hears me pray
He’ll come one day
He’ll come one day
I’ll get my home
I’ll get my babe
[Bridge]
If I have to wait
I will wait in peace
With my small torn heart
and my stubborn belief
Every empty hour
is a seed in soil
And love like ours
will break through the toil
[Chorus]
He’ll come one day
He’ll come one day
God knows my name
and He hears me pray
He’ll come one day
He’ll come one day
I’ll get my home
I’ll get my babe
[Outro]
So I leave the lamp on
I leave the door wide
Blue in my bones
but hope by my side
He’ll come one day
He’ll come one day
