lyrics
I watch the red lamp burn at night
Still hoping for a holy sight
This quiet chapel feels alive
But I am struggling to survive
This mercy I'm not ready for
But still, I kneel upon this floor
Your spirit lingers in the air
Like incense rising in a prayer
Do You hear me, Lord, when the silence starts to burn?
Can I feel You near when my thoughts begin to turn?
I've been waiting, barely breathing, in the grace You used to fill
If You know me like I know You, then I bow beneath Your will
The holy water feels like dew
The pews remember passing through
I walk the aisles we once knew well
But stories only time can tell
A part of me that I won't let go
Is holding to the seeds You sow
Your spirit lingers in the air
Like incense rising in a prayer
Do You hear me, Lord, when the silence starts to burn?
Can I feel You near when my thoughts begin to turn?
I've been waiting, barely breathing, in the grace You used to fill
If You know me like I know You, then I bow beneath Your will
Maybe faith just learns to wait
Outside the narrow Heaven's gate
If You hold me through the night
Then I will walk by faith, not sight
Do You hear me, Lord, when the silence starts to burn?
Can I feel You near when my thoughts begin to turn?
I've been waiting, barely breathing, in the grace You used to fill
If You know me like I know You
Then my heart is beating still
