Verse 1

Hey God it’s me
I been lost a little while
Walkin’ all these miles
And I’m in need
Of some direction
Cause down here it’s gettin hard
I been searching near and far
Help me believe

Chorus

You wait for me
If I’m takin’ the long way home
Stuck on the same old dead end road
I wanna leave the life I know
But when I just can’t let go
You wait for me
You keep on holdin on
Cuz Heaven knows I’m not that strong
I’m sorry it took so long
I was takin the long way home

Post Chorus

But You wait for me
Oh You wait for me

Verse 2

Oh now I see
I should’ve asked You years ago
But my heart was full of stone
And disbelief
But You were patient
While You washed away my doubt
When You laid that road map out
Your path was straighter

Chorus

You wait for me
If I’m takin’ the long way home
Stuck on the same old dead end road
I wanna leave the life I know
But when I just can’t let go
You wait for me
You keep on holdin on
Heaven knows I’m not that strong
I’m sorry it took so long
I was takin the long way home

Post Chorus

But You wait for me
Oh You wait for me

Bridge 1

Every twist and every turn
Every lesson that I learn
Every step I take
You always made a way
If I stumble and I fall
If my walk becomes a crawl
You carry me when
I can’t find my strength

Chorus

You wait for me
If I’m takin’ the long way home
Stuck on the same old dead end road
I wanna leave the life I know
But when I just can’t let go
You wait for me
You keep on holdin on
Cuz Heaven knows I’m not that strong
I’m sorry it took so long
I was takin the long way home

Post Chorus

You wait for me
You wait for me
You wait for me
