still waiting . . .

Come For Me

Jesus come take me away, I long to see Your face
This world is broken yet beautifully made,
Jesus come take me away.

Jesus I’ll patiently wait, until like a vapor I’ll fade
Help me fulfill all your dreams for these days,
and Jesus I’ll patiently wait.

You’ll come again with a shout,
like a thief in the night you’ll come riding on clouds
and Finally the voice I have followed for life
has a glorious face that is lit up with light
And you’ll come for me, no more pain - peace,
No more fear - release
just lost and consumed with my glorious King.

Jesus today I am tired, and I need your music to come and inspire
and I give myself to be refined in this fire,
but Jesus today I’m so tired.

You’ll come again with a shout,

like a thief in the night you’ll come riding on clouds

and Finally the voice I have followed for life

has a glorious face that is lit up with light

And you’ll come for me, no more pain- peace,

No more fear - release

just lost and consumed with my glorious King,

and you'll come for me.

come for me.

Music & lyrics - Charlie Hall (from CD Flying into Daybreak)

Today it was this simple song so beautifully stated with imagery of Christ's return, that reminded me of what it is that I am truly waiting for. I wait with eager anticipation for the day He will come for me. I will not and can not sit idling my life away knowing that this promise is everything I am waiting for.

What a glorious day it will be - worth the wait indeed.

"For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever."

1 Thessalonians 4:16-17
