John the Baptist

Waiting for an answer

Desperate for relief

How will You hide your face from me?

'Cause it feels like it's been ages

Since I felt You in my life

I'm looking for Your presence

But You've been so hard to find

I didn't know what I was asking for

When I said Your kingdom come

I thought the gift of Heaven meant

That my suffering would be done

I feel like John the Baptist asking if You were the one

'Cause it doesn't feel like it right now

But God, I really need You right now

Waiting for a miracle

That I may never see

Trying to come to grips with that and still believe (I still believe)

But I know that You were wiser

Than I could ever know

So I'm still trying to trust You and surrender my control

I didn't know what it would cost me, when I prayed Your kingdom come

I thought the gift of Heaven meant my battle would be won

I feel like John the Baptist, asking if You were the one

'Cause it doesn't feel like it right now

But God, I really need You right now

'Cause I believe, that You can make the blind man see

I believe, that You can make the leper clean

And I've even seen the way that You work in me

But I can't really feel it right now

Oh, God, help me feel it right now

I need You right now

How we feel so

I need You right now

I'm waiting for the day to come

When all of this makes sense

But if You're the one we're waiting for

I'll trust You until then
