Forty One

Well, it's been a while and I'm still waiting

And if I'm being honest, I'm getting tired

Of praying when nothing's shifting, mm

Where are You? Are You listening?

I've read about the days and nights they wandered

Aimless in the wilderness

Asking how much longer until they'd see it, mm

Will I ever see it?

If You could keep a promise after forty years of wandering

When the answers felt like secrets

But You always have Your reasons

'Cause You're not in the business of keeping things unfinished

While You're preparing something

My waiting's not for nothing

'Cause forty-one is coming

Forty-one is coming

So if it's not Your timing, then don't change it

Just promise You'll be with me every minute that I face it

I might be tired, mm, mm

But I know Your ways are higher

If You could keep a promise after forty years of wandering

When the answers felt like secrets

But You always have Your reasons

'Cause You're not in the business of keeping things unfinished

While You're preparing something

My waiting's not for nothing

'Cause forty-one is coming, mm, mm

Forty-one is coming

I've lived through nights that feel like lifetimes

And days that never end

But I trust You just enough to know that You'll do it again

If You could keep a promise after forty years of wandering

I'll keep hoping 'til I see it

I'm not going back to Egypt

'Cause You're not in the business of keeping things unfinished

While You're preparing something

My waiting's not for nothing

Forty-one is coming
