Waiting to Shine

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

And how I long to get home

Lord I hope it won't be long

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

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

And all I want is to see Your face

All I'm praying for today

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

(Sing hallelujah) To our God

(Sing hallelujah) We are found

(Sing hallelujah) For the Savior has come down

Oh (Oh)

Oh

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
