What Am I Waiting For?

So how did I get to this place?
Thought it all was going as I’d planned.
Laid down the perfect road to take.
And how did I get so caught up
In all the familiar things,
So I’m terrified to even take a chance?

But you said if I took a step of faith
That you could show me a life
So much more worth living.
So I’m thinking

What am I waiting for?
Am I just passing on through this life?
But I’ve been headed down this road for so long.
Can I learn to let it go?
Trust my life in the hands of my Creator?
For I know you are all that’s good in me.
I’ve felt your love running through my veins.
You’re all I need.
What am I waiting for?

Cut through the safety lines I’ve built
So I can’t deny your faithfulness,
Can’t call it coincidence.
Help me to put aside my plans and ask for yours
So you’re dwelling in my heart,
Renewing my mind.

And oh, I’m so tired
Of running in circles.
I’m ready to take
A step of faith and go where you lead me.
What am I waiting for?
