The Hope of the Waiting

(Verse 1 – The Complaint & Longing)
I sit in the quiet, the ache in my chest,
My heart carries desires that find no rest.
My womb feels like empty, dry ground in the sun,
And I ask in the shadows, "Lord, are We done?"
I look at the chairs where I long for more grace,
For the sound of small feet and a new little face.
The sorrow is heavy, the longing is deep,
And You know every tear that I silently weep.
(Verse 2 – The Confession & Repentance)
Lord, I bring You my heart, and I confess my own way,
How I’ve tried to control what I wanted today.
I have leaned on my understanding and strength,
Measuring blessing by human-made length.
I let my desires turn into my king,
Forgetting that You are the source of each thing.
Forgive me for pride, for the fear in my soul,
For trying to grip what only You can control.
(Chorus – The Turn to Trust)
Yet this I call to mind, and therefore I have hope:
Your steadfast love never ceases, Your mercy has scope.
They are new every morning, great is Your name,
Your faithfulness stands through the joy and the pain.
The Lord is my portion, my soul cries aloud,
I will wait for the Sun through the thick of the cloud.
(Bridge – The Plea & Holding On)
Hear my cry, O Lord, do not hide Your face!
Remember Your servant, flood this heart with Your grace.
If it pleases Your will, open up the closed door,
Bring life to this family and bless us with more.
But even in waiting, even in the unknown,
I bow to Your altar, I rest at Your throne.
You are good to the soul that is seeking Your light,
You are holding my hand in the mid of the night.
(Outro – The Promise to Praise)
You will restore, You will establish my heart,
Your plans for my life will not tear me apart.
I quiet my soul, I put down my strain,
And I trust in the Lord through the waiting and pain.
Great is Your faithfulness, Lord unto me,
My hope is in You, and in You I am free.
Amen.
