Waiting for the Lord’s Return

“And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and I will receive you unto Myself; so that where I am, there you may be also.” (John 14:3).

My life now lives in joy beside You,
Each moment filled with Your gentle grace.
With You near, my days are ever in peace,
Like morning dew on untouched fields.

My heart forever lifts toward You,
Even when storm clouds gather high.
Though trials come to block my way,
My heart stands firm, trusting in You alone.

Your love covers my life for endless ages,
Your light shines upon me forevermore.
By Your side, my soul is fulfilled,
I hold fast to Your promises, awaiting Your return.

Waiting for the Lord’s Return

“And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and I will receive you unto Myself; so that where I am, there you may be also.” (John 14:3).

My life now lives in joy beside You.
With You near, my days are ever in peace.
My heart forever lifts toward You.
Though storms may come to block my way,
My heart stands firm, trusting in You alone.

Your love covers my life for endless ages.
Your love shines upon me forevermore.
By Your side, my soul is fulfilled.
I hold fast to Your promises, never forgetting.

Waiting for Your return,
I lift my voice in joyful song,
Rising with You in the heavens above.
