Watch and Pray

Fumbling, stumbling in the darkness

Waiting while anticipating dawn

I'm setting my eyes upon the horizon

Trusting the sun will arise ere long

At times I’m oppressed by the starkness

Of how evil pervades what once was peace

I’ll set my mind on the above and beyond

Knowing that one day the sin will cease

But till that day, till that day

But till that day-I will watch and pray

But till that day, till that day

But till that day-I will watch and pray

Sometimes I’m driven to distraction

The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak

Step by step I’ll keep in step with the Spirit

Till I enter that city for which I seek

But till that day, till that day

But till that day-I will watch and pray

But till that day, till that day

But till that day-I will watch and pray

So I’ll cast myself headlong on grace 

Until I see the glory in Jesus’ face

But till that day, till that day

But till that day-I will watch and pray

But till that day, till that day

But till that day-I will watch and pray
