[Verse 1]
Calendar pages
Stacked on the floor
Two little lines that faded
Before I could dream more
Doctors and headlines
I learned too many words
Left that room smaller
Than I’d ever been heard
[Pre-Chorus]
I laid there asking why You stayed so quiet
Holding onto prayers that felt like silence
[Chorus]
I’m still waiting on Your time
Even with these empty hands
I don’t see the other side
But I know You’ve got a plan
You’ve been catching every tear
You’ve been sitting in my night
If it’s not over
I’ll keep breathing
Till Your promise comes to life
I’m still waiting on Your time
[Verse 2]
Early spring morning
They said
“we have to take it”
Part of my body
Gone in a minute
I left the hospital
Feeling half of myself
Wondered if hope
Should be put on a shelf
[Pre-Chorus]
But something in my chest kept softly beating
A tiny hallelujah kept repeating
[Chorus]
I’m still waiting on Your time
Even with these empty hands
I don’t see the other side
But I know You’ve got a plan
You’ve been catching every tear
You’ve been sitting in my night
If it’s not over
I’ll keep breathing
Till Your promise comes to life
I’m still waiting on Your time
[Bridge]
Maybe the blessing looks different
From what I drew in my mind
Maybe the cradle You’re building
Is taking more time
But You don’t waste a wound
You don’t waste a cry
You were there in every loss
You are here in every why (oh)
[Chorus]
I’m still waiting on Your time
Even with these empty hands
I don’t see the other side
But I know You’ve got a plan
You’ve been catching every tear
You’ve been sitting in my night
If it’s not over
I’ll keep breathing
Till Your promise comes to life
[Outro]
So I’ll wait on Your time
Heart open wide
When the day finally comes
I’ll know You were right
Till my arms feel full
Or You rewrite my life
I am held
I am heard
I am still on Your side
I’m still waiting on Your time
