Building 429 - Waiting to Shine Lyrics

God, I've always wondered what You looked like
Lord, I've always waited, staring at the sky
But the heavens remained quiet as they drift along in peace
Sometimes they've turned to thunder, still the echoes always cease
And how I long to get home, Lord, I hope it won't be long

Till You let the skies open wide, let Your child see Your eyes
Iris to iris, I will be waiting
Let the skies open wide, let Your children be like diamonds reflecting
We will be waiting, waiting to shine, waiting to shine

Chasing after vapors left me cold
Because obscurity befalls me like a diamond cased in coal
Your hand has been upon me and Your workmanship is true
And years I've spent in darkness made me long to shine for You

All I want is to see Your face, all I'm praying for today
Is that You let the skies open wide, let Your child see Your eyes
Iris to iris, I will be waiting
Let the skies open wide, let Your children be like diamonds reflecting
We will be waiting, waiting to shine

Sing hallelujah to our God
Sing hallelujah, we are found
Sing hallelujah for the savior has come down

Oh, let the skies open wide, let Your child see Your eyes
Iris to iris, I will be waiting
Let the skies open wide, let Your children be like diamonds reflecting
We will be waiting

Sunset to sunset, we will be waiting
Sunset to sunset, we will be waiting
Waiting to shine, still waiting to shine
