Don't Wait For Me

[Verse 1] Every night before I sleep, I dream That tomorrow will be the perfect day, The day I finally walk the line And leave the wicked me behind, To live one day not by my might, But righteous in Your holy sight, Each morning I swear I’ll change at last, Yet I’m a train locked to its track, With only forward left to run, no turning back. [Chorus] Oh God, don’t wait for me, My eyes are open, I can see, If I refuse to turn and change, Then let the judgment fall on me, Every day that You delay, More souls are drifting away, Better Your kingdom come, Even if I’m not ready. [Verse 2] Though it feels and sounds absurd, To think You’d wait on one like me, For me to get my life together Before You bring eternity, Yet still I do not change my ways, That is my burden in these days, You have the right to rule and reign, Even if I choose what’s vain, Though I slip into the devil’s snare, Know I never praised his name. [Chorus] Oh God, don’t wait for me, My eyes are open, I can see, If I refuse to turn and change, Then let the judgment fall on me, Every day that You delay, More souls are drifting away, Better Your kingdom come, Even if I’m not ready. [Verse 3] Oh God, I accept you and your son, Your side is the one I want to be on, I want your rule, on earth below, Even if I have to be cast below, If I'm not holy, I am not worthy of your law, Even if I admire your son in awe, better to cast me to hell, Then delay your kingdom and holy dwell. [Chorus] Oh God, don’t wait for me, My eyes are open, I can see, If I refuse to turn and change, Then let the judgment fall on me, Every day that You delay, More souls are drifting away, Better Your kingdom come, Even if I’m not ready. [Verse 4] Let there be children when You come Who love the victory of Your Son, And if I stand outside that gate Still I will praise Your holy name, For better heaven flood the earth Than history bend around my worth. If I am assigned into the flames of hell, I will confess and praise you, forever, just as well.
