right here waiting

i know you're out there Lord.
how come it hurts so much? how come?

and why do i only look to the hurt?
looking at today, i cannot help but think that God, you're working in me. you stir in my heart.

why don't i count my blessings? why can't i just focus on one of them and be content?

as i listen to the song 'right here waiting' i am broken into pieces.
God has written the lyrics. waiting for me, no matter what i've done.

right here waiting - richard marx

ocean’s apart day after day
and i slowly go insane
i hear your voice on the line
but it doesn’t stop the pain (me)

if i see you next to never
how can we say forever (me)

wherever you go
whatever you do
i will be right here waiting for you
whatever it takes
or how my heart breaks
i will be right here waiting for you (God)

i took for granted, all the times
that i thought would last somehow
i hear the laughter, i taste the tears
but i can’t get near you now (me)

i wonder how we can survive
this romance
but in the end if i’m with you
i’ll take the chance (me)

wherever you go
whatever you do
i will be right here waiting for you
whatever it takes
or how my heart breaks
i will be right here waiting for you (God)

i pray i can sleep tonite.
i give my burdens to you Lord.
