I was holding on with all my might
Just praying for a ray of light
Someone to hold me through the night

When I thought that I had lost my mind
When I was all alone and it got too quiet
You never let me go, never left my side

'Cause You're with us while we wait
You're with us while we wait
While we hope for better days
You're with us while we wait

There's a peace for our anxiety
A comfort for our suffering
And a healing we have yet to see

But You're with us while we wait
You're with us while we wait
While we hope for better days
You're with us while we wait

You're here in the center of all hopelessness
When little of our faith is left
You're lifting up our weary heads

You're here in the tension of the life that was
The here and now, the yet to come
And through it all Your promise stands

That You're with us while we wait
You're with us while we wait
While we hope for better days
You're with us while we wait
