I’VE BEEN STANDING ON THE SUMMIT
I’ve been looking for the rain
I’ve been looking for the cloud to come but maybe not the pain
I’ve been looking for a miracle I’ve been looking for a sign
To see some hope come to the world
I’ve been standing with a blazing torch
I’ve been looking where to run
I’ve been praying for the faith I need to see Your kingdom come
I’ve been looking in the mirror
Yes, I think You need to change
Lets pray that hope comes to the world
Everybody round the world come on
We need some love to fall on us
Everybody round the world come on
We need some grace to fall on us
I’ve been standing with the fatherless
We’ve been learning how to pray
All we’re asking is the grace we need to live a better way
We’ve been longing for the walls to crash that hold us from the truth
Let’s pray that hope comes to the world
Can you hear the sound that’s rising?
From all the corners of the earth
And young and old will stand together
Can you hear the praise? It’s louder than the radio!
Martin Smith
