[Intro — slow 3/4; bright acoustic guitar, Delta-blues feel; simple piano enters underneath] love to see the world, Lord, The world that You have made, But I don’t love this world... [Bright acoustic guitar answers the vocal] [Verse 2 — piano grows slightly] Waiting for the daylight, Waiting for the Son, To save us from this darkness... [Acoustic guitar turnaround] [Chorus — key change upward; bass and restrained drums enter] You’re our blessed hope, Lord, We’re waiting for the call, We’ll rise to meet You, Jesus, Then come back when You rule it all. [Short guitar and piano break — keep plenty of space] [Verse 3 — drop back slightly] I know we’re gonna leave here, And take our place on high, Then return in the springtime... [Delta-blues acoustic guitar answers] [Verse 4 — hopeful, brighter] The world will be new then, More openly alive, And the New Jerusalem... [Piano chord rings; acoustic guitar responds] [Bridge — vocal intimate, band slowly building] [Verse 1 — older soulful male vocal, warm and weathered]Till then we’ll keep on watching, Till then we’ll hold the light, For soon the Son is coming, To carry us from night. [Final Chorus — key change lifts again if natural; strongest vocal] You’re our blessed hope, Lord, We’re waiting for the call, We’ll rise to meet You, Jesus, Then come back when You rule it all. [Outro — instruments fall away to acoustic guitar and piano] Waiting for the daylight... Waiting for the Son... [Final bright acoustic guitar phrase — piano resolves softly]
