Waiting for the Day

I am waiting for the day
When my brothers will be free
And the walls are torn away
Like a light that ends a dream
I am certain that the night
Like a curtain will be raised
Though the end is not in sight
I am waiting for the day

I am waiting for the day
When the children will be fed
And every starving heart is saved
By the Life in Heaven's bread
And I am looking to the east
For the first shining ray
Till we all join in the feast
I am waiting for the day

I'm waiting, Lord, I'm waiting
Waiting for the day to come
Waiting for the day
Ooh, I'm waiting
Lord, I'm waiting for the day to come

I am waiting for the day
(What can wash away my sin)
When the people of the earth
(And what can make me whole again)
See the sacrifice God made
(And what can make me white as snow, oh...)
Is the measure of our worth
And I am praying for the time
(Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound)
When the power of His grace
(That saved me, oh...)
Strikes the hearts of all mankind
(I once was lost but not I'm found and...)
I am waiting for the day

I am waiting for the day
When the friends who've gone before
Meet us by the crystal lake
On a not-too-distant shore
And I am sure when time is done
(When we've been there 10,000 years)
And the sky is rolled away
(Light shining as the sun)
We will see the Holy One
I am waiting for the day

I'm waiting
I am waiting for the day
I'm waiting, Lord, I'm waiting
Waiting for the day
Ooh, I'm waiting
Lord, I'm waiting for the day, yeah
Waiting for the day

Ooh, Lord, I'm waiting
Ooh, Lord, I'm waiting
For the day to come
Waiting for the day
Oh, Lord, I'm waiting
Oh, I am waiting
Yeah, waiting for the day
Oh, Lord, I'm waiting
For the day to come
Oh, Lord, I'm waiting
Waiting to see You
