WORKING/WAITING
By Todd Hoover

Who should we be to build His Kingdom,
where all is clean and truth is welcome'
To see Your face, we work and wait.
The Valley oak tree of California --
it has a lesson to teach us all.
When leaves appear on its tender branches,
you know that summer is drawing near.
So when the bridegroom's prevailing glory
makes evil crumble before our eyes,
we'll know for certain that he is near us,
the gates of heaven about to burst.
What Jesus said to the 12 disciples
has stayed around for 2,000 years.
No generation has ever suffered
without the master returning home.
We'll see an ending to things in heaven;
we'll see an ending to things on earth.
But God will never deprive His people
of the Messiah, the living Word.
To see Your face, we work and wait.
As sure as Your justice prepared for His steps,
we'll dance and sing through whatever comes next.
