This is for those who wait
Another day, another waiting game
A little different but it's still the same
I am here, but where's the one I'm longing for?
I'm having trouble feeling all alone
Will my heart ever find a home?
I want to hope but sometimes I just don't know
I know I'm not the only one
So we sing a lullaby to the lonely hearts tonight
Let it set your heart on fire, let it set you free
When you're fighting to believe
In a love that you can't see
Just know there is a purpose
For those who wait
I want to open up my eyes
I know that all I need is time
I'm growing stronger every single day
God, I'm going to lean into You now
Letting go of all my fear and doubt
I can't do this on my own so I'll give You control
I know I’m not the only one
The pressure makes us stronger
The struggle makes us hunger
The hard lessons make the difference
The pressure makes us stronger
The struggle makes us hunger
The hard lessons make the difference
And the difference makes it worth it

Behind the Song:“When we're writing songs, we always pray that God will guide us and that He will bring power to the song. This is one of those times when He truly did. This song turned out to be the theme for the whole album. There are so many hard things going on in so many people's lives that life sometimes can be seen as a giant waiting game. We're just waiting for those hard things to be over with. However, we believe it's during those waiting times that God's trying to teach us something. Those hard things that happened to you can become the best things that ever happened to you because God can use that pain. He'll turn it into power for your life, to help yourself and to help others. And those will be the cornerstones of your entire life and the basis and the formation of your character.” ~ Dawn Michele (
