I’ve walked the earth with open hands
Gave my heart to fading lands
Loved in shadows, lived in doubt
Still I never burned out

I’ve felt the weight of mortal years
Held the silence, tasted tears
But every night I faced alone
I whispered softly to the throne

I am waiting for the Savior
In the stillness of the night
Through the sorrow and the longing
Through the battles I can’t fight
I have given all I carried
Till there’s nothing left to save
I am waiting for the Savior
To lift me from the grave

I’ve touched the cold of empty days
Knelt in ruins, learned to pray
Saw the world in broken light
Yet kept a candle burning bright

My faith was bruised, my spirit worn
Still I stayed through every storm
And though the heavens felt so far
I held my eyes toward that star

I am waiting for the Savior
In the stillness of the night
Through the sorrow and the longing
Through the battles I can’t fight
I have given all I carried
Till there’s nothing left to save
I am waiting for the Savior
To lift me from the grave

If redemption walks in silence
Let it find me on my knees
I have lived, and I have given
All the love that lived in me

I am waiting for the Savior
In the stillness of the night
Through the sorrow and the longing
Through the battles I can’t fight
I have given all I carried
Till there’s nothing left to save
I am waiting for the Savior
To lift me from the grave
