Waiting for Jesus
Jesus come by here
not as a blood-thirsty warrior
not as a vengeful enforcer
as some have suggested you are
as some have re-invented you for
Waiting for Jesus

Come, Good Shepard, as the loving one you are
come to us, Lord, as the bright and morning star
let the prescribed expectations cease
waiting for the Prince of Peace
Jesus, how many wars have been fought in your name?
forgive our deceptions, Lord,
let us abandon the political game
Jesus is the wind
try to hold him, try to control him,
you've lost your best friend
it's not for him to come down to us
but for us to come up to him
Waiting for Jesus
