Waiting to Shine

[Verse 1]
God I've always wondered what You look like
Lord I've always waited staring at the sky
But the heavens remain quiet
As they drift along in peace
Sometimes they've turned to thunder
Still the echoes always cease

[Pre-Chorus]
And how I long to get home
Lord I hope it won't be long

[Chorus]
Until You let the skies open wide
Let Your child see Your eyes
Iris to iris
I will be waiting
Let the skies open wide
Let Your children be like
Diamonds reflecting
We will be waiting
Waiting to shine
Waiting to shine

[Verse 2]
Chasing after vapors left me cold
Because obscurity befalls me like a diamond cased in coal
But Your hand has been upon me and Your workmanship is true
And years I've spent in darkness made me long to shine for You

[Pre-Chorus]
And all I want is to see Your face
All I'm praying for today

[Chorus]
Is that You'd let the skies open wide
Let Your child see Your eyes
Iris to iris
I will be waiting
Let the skies open wide
Let Your children be like
Diamonds reflecting
We will be waiting
Waiting to shine

[Bridge]
(Sing hallelujah) To our God
(Sing hallelujah) We are found
(Sing hallelujah) For the Savior has come down
Oh (Oh)
Oh

[Chorus]
Oh, let the skies open wide
Let Your child see Your eyes
Iris to iris
I will be waiting (I'll be waiting for You)
Let the skies open wide
Let Your children be like
Diamonds reflecting
We will be waiting
Sunset to sunset we will be waiting
Sunset to sunset we will be waiting
Waiting to shine
Still waiting to shine
