Album: The Eternal Son
Writer: Steve Swallow / Robert Creeley
I will wait for You, I will wait for You
Knowing that You will draw near to me
I was made for You, I was made for You
I was made to be in Your presence
Here, oh Lord, I have made a place
For You to fill, so come and have Your way
You’re the one I want, You’re the one I want
You’re the one my heart cries out for
This is not my home, This is not my home
This is only temporary
But You oh Lord, will never fade away
I’ll be home when I see Your face
Now I’ve found my place in Your house

Biblical Message
Psalm 27:4 expresses the desire to dwell in God’s house and seek His presence. Second Corinthians 5:1 speaks of an eternal home from God, and Revelation 21:3 looks toward God dwelling with His people.
