[Verse 1] You made the offer And I said yes You wrote my name On my whole life Now I wear the veil Through every crowd [Pre-Chorus] You left a pledge in me I hold it close When the hours stretch long I still know [Chorus] While we wait While we wait We keep our hearts awake While we wait While we wait You are coming back for Your bride [Verse 2] Keep oil in the lamp Keep watch at night Keep my hands in Your word Keep my face to the light Keep my dress being made Thread by thread [Pre-Chorus] You left a pledge in me I hold it close When the house feels quiet I still know [Chorus] While we wait While we wait We keep our hearts awake While we wait While we wait You are coming back for Your bride [Bridge] I won't panic now I won't let fear lead You are building the room And You're building me You began the work You will finish it So I rest in the promise And I lean in it [Chorus] While we wait While we wait We keep our hearts awake While we wait While we wait You are coming back for Your bride [Outro] No wringing hands No shaking ground We know the first half Has already been signed While we wait
