Song For the Waiting

There is a song in the night

Like bells on a hill still ringing

You are the song in the night

I cannot keep from singing

For the longing, for the aching

For the looking, anticipating

For the healing, for the breaking

This is a song for the waiting

There is a song in the night

Like bells on a hill still ringing

You are the song in the night

I cannot keep from singing

For the lonely, for the stranded

Restless, ruined and empty handed

In every season and every station

We live in hopeful desperation

You are the song in the night

Like bells on a hill still ringing

You are the song in the night

I cannot keep from singing

What a blessedness, what a joy divine

I'll sing your story and you'll sing mine

Through the sands of time under ancient stars

We are leaning on the everlasting arms

You are my song in the night

Like bells on a hill still ringing

You are the song in the night

I cannot keep from singing

I cannot keep from singing

I cannot keep from singing
