Waiting Saints





I have a hope, bright in darkest place;
a drowning flood of ocean's grace
  to rise around these broken feet
and take me up to wondrous dreams.

Though stars go dark
  and all hearts may fail
still strong in love is my King

Though mountains tremble
  and the heavens flee
still my hope is held by one glorious thing;

That God himself should come and pay
  the very ransom he demands of me
and batter down the captives' cells
    to take them up to eternity.

Though sickness threaten to destroy
  or all men attempt to overthrow
still strong I wait upon the Lord
    in faith and love and unending hope.

Though love may come
  and hearts may fail
yet I will call upon your name.
For what other hope for waiting saints
  than perfect love and unending grace?
