I was waiting

i was waiting
i was praying
holding on to what he said
in the silence god was moving
writing love i hadn’t met
i dreamed of someone strong and kind who loves the lord more than i


you are my answered prayer
a quiet hope a love prepared
you lead me closer to his heart
you’ve been his promise from the start
i waited long but now you’re here
you are my answer prayer


you don’t run when days are heavy
you remind me who
i am we don’t need to chase the feeling
we just walk his perfect plan
and when i fall or lose my fight you hold my hand and lift my eyes


you are my answer to prayer
a quiet hope a love prepared
you lead me closer to his heart
you’ve been his promise from the start
i waited long but now you’re here
you are my answer prayer


i was just praying for you
now i’m praying with you
from whisper dreams to morning light
god brought us both in his time


you are my answered prayer
more than i knew was even there
we worship now we grow in grace
to hearts that seek his holy face
i waited long but now you’re near
you are my answer prayer


oh you are my answered prayer
more than i knew was even there
we worship now
we grow in grace to hearts that seek his holy face
i waited long but now you’re near
you are my prayer
