You wait in silence, You wait with mercy You wait in love, Lord, You wait for me You wait in patience You wait with forgiveness You wait in tears, Lord, You wait for me And I can't go on, have I gone too far As I turn toward You I turn away And all my sins You'll take away As I run to where I left You standing I long to hear You say "welcome home" You wait with joy, Lord You wait with compassion You wait with grace, oh, You wait for me I can't go on, have I gone too far As I turn toward You I turn away And all my sin You'll take away As I run to where I left You standing I long to hear You say "welcome home" Yeah As I turn toward You I turn away And all my sins You'll take away As I turn toward You I turn away And all my sins You'll take away As I run to where I left You standing I long to hear You say I long to hear You say I long to hear You say "welcome home" No matter what I've done How far from You I've run I always hoped You'd wait for me
