I’VE BEEN WAITING
Seems a long time
For revelation to my mind
I’ve been waiting
To encounter You
For a vision or a sign
It seems I look and see nothing
I listen and I don’t hear
But there’s a deep conviction that I must
Others talk about their visions and the words that they hear
Still I wait in Your presence and I trust
That You’re the God of thunder
The God of silence too
That you listen to my thoughts
The words I say to You
And You manifest Your presence
And open heaven’s gate
To the heart that seeks with passion
To the one who will wait for You
And You are waiting for my obedience
For my faith to take the risk
To be willing to look foolish
To give my all for Your own sake
And I’m afraid and yet I’m eager
To receive Your holy fire
For what I am alone is not enough
And the world it is waiting for the miracles and signs
For the proof of Your power and Your love
For You’re the God of thunder
The God of silence too
And You listened to my thoughts
The words I say to You
And You manifest Your presence
And open heaven’s gate
To the heart that seeks with passion
To the one who will wait for You
Like the deer that thirsts for the cool clear water
So my soul and my heart thirsts for You
And I wait I’ll wait
For You’re the God of thunder
The God of silence too
You listened to my thoughts
The words I say to You
You manifest Your presence
Open heaven’s gate
To the heart that seeks with passion
To the one who will wait
Joanne Hogg
