While We Wait – Amanda Cook

Verse1
      E
I was holding on with all my might 
      F#
Just praying for a ray of light 
    B                                  G#m
Someone to hold me through the night 
        E
When I thought that I had lost my mind 
           F#
When I was all alone and it got too quiet 
     B                                   G#m
You never let me go, never left my side

Chorus
G#m             F#                E
   Cause You’re with us while we wait 
F#                          B
   You’re with us while we wait
G#m         B                E
   While we hope for better days 
F#                          B
   You’re with us while we wait

Verse2
           E
There’s a peace for our anxiety 
    F#
A comfort for our suffering 
       B
And a healing we have yet to see

Bridge
G#m      F           E
  You’re here in the center of all hopelessness 
      F#
When little of our faith is left 
        D#m                  
You’re lifting up our weary heads 
G#m      F           E
  You’re here in the tension of the life that was 
      F#
The here and now, the yet to come 
     B
And through it all Your promise stands

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

Chorus
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

Verse2
There’s a peace for our anxiety
A comfort for our suffering
And a healing we have yet to see

Bridge
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
