(Reflective music for today's Pause for Prayer...)
I wait for you, Lord,
and I have waited for so long
and in so many ways…
I wait to find you, to know you,
to believe in you...
I wait to find you, to know you,
to believe in you...
I wait for you to show yourself,
to show me your face
and let its light shine full upon my own…
I wait for you to speak to me,
to speak a word I understand:
a word my heart can grasp,
a word my heart can hold,
a word my heart can keep,
a word that brings me peace...
a word my heart can hold,
a word my heart can keep,
a word that brings me peace...
I wait to find the truth that sets me free
from all that holds me fast
in my confusion, fear and doubt…
I wait for you to hear my prayer
and answer me...
I wait for your Spirit to move me,
nudge me and shake me awake;
I wait for your Spirit to stir within me
and let me know that you are with me
and I am with you...
and answer me...
I wait for your Spirit to move me,
nudge me and shake me awake;
I wait for your Spirit to stir within me
and let me know that you are with me
and I am with you...
I wait to hear a word from you of
where to turn, the path to take,
the choices I should make...
the choices I should make...
I wait for you to calm my fears,
my anxious, lonely heart,
my anxious, lonely heart,
my troubled soul…
I wait for you to help me find
even just a little peace of mind…
even just a little peace of mind…
I wait to find your presence in my daily rounds:
in the ordinary people, times and places
where I least expect but really need to see you...
I wait to know your mercy:
the forgiveness of my sins,
the cleansing of my soul,
the cleansing of my soul,
and refreshment for my spirit...
I wait because I trust you'll never fail
to call me to begin again, anew,
I wait because I trust you'll never fail
to call me to begin again, anew,
my slate wiped clean,
my sins absolved,
my heart mended, healed and pardoned...
my sins absolved,
my heart mended, healed and pardoned...
I wait for you
when I'm not even sure why I still wait -
but then I wait some more
for in the waiting I begin
to see you in the dark
and hear you in the silence...
In the waiting I begin to know
your presence and your face
and to feel your gentle touch
to see you in the dark
and hear you in the silence...
In the waiting I begin to know
your presence and your face
and to feel your gentle touch
in the care of those around me
whose hearts and hands are yours, Lord,
whose voice and word are yours...
whose voice and word are yours...
In the quiet of my Advent prayer
I wait for you and, Lord,
I know you wait for me…
I know you wait for me…
