THE WAITING ROOM

Lyrics by Peter Merz
Music  by Richard Brown

VERSE 1
Noah says goodbye
Oh, to the world he once knew
It's rough but he tries
Not to let fear and doubt subdue
The faith that's carried him this far
And waiting there inside the ark
Noah cries

CHORUS
Lord, hear a prayer from my heart to Yours
How long must we wait, wait, wait
Could it be You've forgotten
Lord, how much longer will this take?
I'm trying to trust You
But I get impatient
When I wait for You
Here in the waiting room

VERSE 2
Abraham keeps on counting stars
While Sarah cries
Oh, her broken maternal heart
Bleeds from the child that's not there
Oh, as she combs her silver hair
Sarah cries

CHORUS
Lord, hear a prayer from my heart to Yours
How long must we wait, wait, wait
Could it be You've forgotten
Lord, how much longer will this take?
I'm trying to trust You
But I get impatient
When I wait for You
Here in the waiting room

BRIDGE
Waiting can try the soul
And in that room full of questions
It's hard to yield control
When we're in a waiting session

VERSE 3
And sometimes we cry
When we're on the road marked with pain
It's hard to surmise
Pain could lead to a greater gain
Hard to trust what our eyes can't see
As waiting drives us to our knees
Lord, we cry

CHORUS
Lord, hear a prayer from my heart to Yours
How long must we wait, wait, wait
Could it be You've forgotten
Lord, how much longer will this take?
I'm trying to trust You
But I get impatient
When I wait for You
Here in the waiting room
