Lyrics

[Verse 1] The world's spinning faster and faster But I'm standing still I'm holding these questions While second guessing what to feel Days keep passing and passing They've all felt the same Oh, but when I turn around What I thought was a drought held the rain [Chorus] I know that there is purpose in this waiting Hope's alive and strength is rising in this place I'm tired and hurting, weary and worried But I know there's joy up ahead 'Cause You said, "The wait won't be wasted" [Verse 2] Pain can cast a long shadow That covers the sun But the pain of refining holds a sweet silver lining When it's done Yeah, I'm finally starting to see it The glimpses of truth Oh, my heart may be broken But I'm so glad it brought me to You, yeah [Chorus] I know that there is purpose in this waiting Hope's alive and strength is rising in this place I'm tired and hurting, weary and worried But I know there's joy up ahead 'Cause You said, "The wait won't be wasted" [Bridge] You didn't spare Daniel from the lion's den But You spared him in it You didn't keep them from the fiery furnace But You were there with them, yeah So I will press on to what lies ahead Though I haven't seen it, oh 'Cause even Jesus had to bear the cross But there was a meaning [Chorus] I know that there is purpose in this waiting Hope's alive and strength is rising in this place I'm tired and hurting, weary and worried But I know there's joy up ahead 'Cause You said, "The wait won't be wasted"
