Out of the Dust - The Wait Won't Be Wasted Lyrics

Oh, oh, oh

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
But when I turn around
What I thought was a drought held the rain

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

Pain can cast a long shadow
That covers the sun
But the pain of refining
Holds a sweet silver lining when it's done
I'm finally starting to see it
These glimpses of truth
Oh, my heart may be broken
But I'm so glad it brought me to You

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
Oh, oh, oh

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
So I will press on to what lies ahead
Though I haven't seen it
Cause even Jesus had to bear the cross
But there was a meaning

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
Oh, oh, oh
