Waiting To Shine

God I've always wondered what You look like
Lord I've always waited staring at the sky
But the heavens remained quiet
As they drift along in peace
Sometimes they've turned to thunder
Still the echoes always cease
How I long to get home
Lord I hope it won't be long
Till You

Let the skies open wide
Let Your child see Your eyes
Iris to iris
I will be waiting
Let the skies open wide
Let Your children be like
Diamonds reflecting
We will be waiting to shine
Waiting to shine

Chasing after vapors left me cold
Cause obscurity befalls me like a diamond cased in coal
But Your hand has been upon me and Your workmanship is true
And years I've spent in darkness made me long to shine for You
All I want is to see Your face
All I'm praying for today
Is that You'd

Let the skies open wide
Let Your child see Your eyes
Iris to iris
I will be waiting
Let the skies open wide
Let Your children be like
Diamonds reflecting
We will be waiting to shine
Waiting to shine

Sing Halleluiah to our God
Sing Halleluiah we are found
Sing halleluiah for the Savior has come down
Let the skies open wide
Let Your child see Your eyes
Iris to iris
I will be waiting

Let the skies open wide
Let Your children be like
Diamonds reflecting
We will be waiting
Sunset to sunset we will be waiting
Sunset to sunset we will be waiting
Waiting to shine
Still waiting to shine
