Waiting

    This song is simply a prayer to Jesus. A plea really, followed by a resolution. Sometimes the presence of Jesus feels far away. Sometimes we don’t have any clue what Jesus wants us to do. So many times I have focused on doing things for Jesus, instead of focusing on Jesus, Himself. Psalm 130:5 says, “I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits, and in His word I put my hope.”
    If we just wait and fix our eyes on Jesus, instead of the things we think we need or the things we should do, we will find that Jesus, Himself, will become enough. He will answer all our needs. And in His own time will direct our paths. As Proverbs 3:5-7 promises, ”Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.


I lay down my head as I wait for You to lead
me to a place that I can’t see
oh please, come and breathe on me

and all I hope for is that You know
just what I am to do and where I’ll go
and all I need is Your face to show
me that You haven’t left me alone

If I stay here in this place
I might forget Your taste
of mercy that brought me here so far
oh Father, come and speak

and all I need to know is that You see
and that You hear and You’re here with me
I don’t need direction or sign
just to know I am Yours, You are mine

And so I lay my head
and I will wait here instead
and all I want is whatever You bring
oh Father, cause me again to sing
