Lyrics
Why do we Wait?
Words and Music by: Bryan D. Jones
I see a man, broken in pieces,
By the choices he made a long time ago...
I see a child, a victim of anger...
His heart is so hurt it may never be whole...
I see a woman, caught in the middle
Of a child that is lost, and a love that's long gone...
Chorus:
Tell me why do we wait, when we know the healer...
Why do we wait, when there's work to done...
Why do we wait, to give them the answer
Tell me why do we wait, when the battle's been won
(second time thru Chors)
Doesn't it break your heart?
Doesn't it break your heart?
Why doesn't it break your heart?
Tell me why.

I see a world, caught in the center
Of a battle that's raging between heaven and hell
I see a world, one day many will savor
A world of forgiveness where Holiness dwells
I see a world, lit by the Savior
Filled with the joy of surrendered love
Chorus:
Love is calling in the darkness
reaching out to meet them where they are
God is calling in the darkness
Reaching out to love them where they are
Chorus:
