Steven Curtis Chapman
Waiting for Lightning
[Verse 1]
Standing on the edge of the truth
Looking out at the view
Of all you used to believe
From where you are
You can see you're far away from home

[Verse 2]
Echoes of the life you once knew
Call out to you
From across the divide
And you know it's time
To step back over the line

[Chorus]
But you're waiting for lightning
A sign that it's time for a change
You're listening for thunder
While He quietly whispers your name
(Whispers your name)

[Verse 3]
Night falls and the curtain goes down
No one's around
It's just you and the truth
As you lie and wait
For a feeling to take you by storm
[Verse 4]
Somewhere in the depths of your heart (Somewhere in your heart)
Where it's empty and dark
There's a flicker of light
And the Spirit calls
But do you know notice at all?

[Chorus]
Are you waiting for lightning?
A sign that it's time for a change?
And you're listening for thunder
While He quietly whispers your name?

[Bridge]
But the sign and the word
Have already been given
And now it's by faith
That we must look
And we must listen

[Outro]
Instead of waiting for lightning
A sign that it's time for a change
Listening for thunder
Are you listening as he
Quietly whispers your name?
(Whispers your name), whispers your name
Ooh, don't wait
(Waiting for lightning)
Don't wait
