From the recording This Is How It Is (I Am Who You Say I Am)
Lyrics
I Can’t Wait
If time could fly the speed of light
It could not take me
To the moment fast enough
To the day we meet, when all is complete
And I run swiftly to embrace the One I love
A thousand strong men could not hold me back
A million words cannot explain
It’s just the something that this life lacks
Its getting closer, loves growing stronger every day
Chorus
I can’t wait until I shake the hand
That holds the stick that beats the drums to which I dance
I can’t wait until I touch the scars upon the One
Who spoke the words by which I stand
I can’t wait, no I can’t wait ’til all time has passed
I can’t wait until the day Jesus comes back
What will I do, what will I say
What will I feel when I finally see His face
A brilliant blaze, purer that sunlight
Changed in a moment by the fullness of His gaze
Lost in the colors of His loveliness
This world is empty to compare
Cause nothing can match the hue of holiness
Love's growing stronger, soon I will be with Him there
Chorus
Bridge
And it’s almost time to go, soon we’ll see His face
As He reaches for the souls of the ones who love Him
The ones who adore Him more that life itself
I Can’t Wait
