to wait.

Splintered trust, oh sickened soul
I shudder as he drags himself through the coals
Another one swept up in freedom that’s fake
Show her this umbrella gives more than it takes

Oh, I bid you to come and mend
This thunderstorm rages and rattles my head
Do you not work wonders out for the dead?
Why wouldn’t you save my brother instead?

To wait is to whither
To fight is to flee
Are we clay in your hands or designed to run free?
Have I made it this far, by faith or by flame?
And if you’re in control, then is your will to blame?

For the splintered wood and tortured moans
Your sovereign hand let that tree fracture their bones
Fourteen and fourteen that day
I don’t understand why they left in that way

Oh, I beg you to come and send
That angel you sent me, to all of my friends
Lying there restless when I was nine
The screams of the suffering souls in my mind

To wait is to whither
To fight is to flee
Are we clay in your hands or designed to run free?
Have I made it this far, by faith or by flame?
And if you’re in control, then is your will to blame?

Uh, ohh, woh, oh
Uh, ohh, woh, oh

Uh, ohh, woh, oh
Uh, ohh, woh, oh

Uh, ohh, woh, oh
Uh, ohh, woh, oh

Uh, ohh, woh, oh
Uh, ohh, woh, oh

You know of each life born in mystery down in the ocean’s depths
You spoke and out of the dust we took breath

You know the horrors that hide in my heart
Still, you chose to die, so a wretch could take part

To wait is to wonder
Set me free
Open my eyes
Let this sinner’s heart see
