Lyrics
The lyrics are copyright so cannot be reproduced here. But they are currently available on this website. A rough outline is:Waiting in silence, waiting in hope,
... Come Lord Jesus. Maranatha!
Waiting in silence, waiting in hope,
... we trust in your love. ...
Waiting in silence, waiting in hope,
... Lord, we seek your truth ...
Waiting in silence, waiting in hope,
... we long for new life ...
Waiting in silence, waiting in hope,
... our hearts thirst for you ...
Make us your garden, Lord. Maranatha!
