Blessed In the Waiting-Luke 6.20-21

Classical guitar, Irish Flute, Female Alto Voice Hopeful, reverent, intimate, gradually triumphant

Intro

When the night feels long,
And the road feels cold,
There is still a promise
That  our hearts can hold.

Verse 1

I have walked through valleys
With an empty heart,
Wondering if tomorrow
Could bring a brand-new start.
But Christ's voice above the silence
Calls me by my name,
Says the tears I cried in secret
Will not fall in vain.

Pre-Chorus

So I lift my eyes,
Though I cannot see,
There is a kingdom waiting
For the weary like me.

Chorus

Blessed in the waiting,
Blessed when I'm weak,
Blessed when my heart is breaking,
And I barely find the strength to speak.
Every tear is turning,
Every hunger fades,
There is joy beyond the sorrow,
There is light beyond the shade.

Verse 2

If I have nothing left now,
Jesus, t still  have Your grace.
If my hands are empty,
You can fill this place.
When the world says I've been forgotten,
When the night won't end,
Jesus, You remind me that the broken
Can be whole again.

Pre-Chorus

So I lift my eyes,
Though I cannot see,
The promise isn't distant—
Lord, You're already here with me.

Chorus

Bridge

One day these tears will become a testimony,
One day this wilderness will bloom.
What feels like an ending
May be the beginning
Jesus, of everything You promised me.

So I will trust You in the silence,
I will trust You through the pain.
Even when I cannot see You,
Lord, I will call upon Your name.

(CHOIR)

Blessed are the weary!
There is rest for you.
Blessed are the hungry!
There is more coming through.
Blessed are the broken!
You are not alone.
Blessed are the crying!
Joy is coming home.

Final Chorus

Blessed in the waiting,
Blessed through the night,
Blessed when I cannot see it,
Jesus, still I'm walking toward the light.
Every tear is turning,
Every hunger fades,
There is joy beyond the sorrow,
There is grace for every day.

Outro

When the night feels long,
I will still believe.
The blessing isn't only
In what I one day receive—
It's knowing that Christ is with me
While I'm waiting to see.
