[VERSE ONE]
Sunday mornings in a wooden pew
Day and night, I’m reaching out to you
Where are you, Jesus?
You said you’d be here soon
Sending up so many endless prayers
Often through tears when there are no words
I still believe You can hear me
Even when the quiet hurts
Hands held high, my heart’s hanging low
I’m overwhelmed by such deep sorrow
Where are you, Jesus?
Ohhh, I really need You
[PRE-CHORUS ONE]
Mmmm…
I call Your name
Hoping You would take the pain
[CHORUS ONE]
Where are you, Jesus?
You said You’d be here soon
[VERSE TWO]
I know to focus on the words in red
‘Cause they’re the ones that You had said
They say I’m loved, and You’ll never leave
But sometimes I can barely breathe
So, I read them over one more time
Searching through every single line
I’m trying hard to find the strength to trust
But sometimes all I want is to just give up
[PRE-CHORUS TWO]
Mmmm…
I call Your name
Again and again and again and again
[CHORUS TWO]
Where are you, Jesus?
You said you’d be here soon
You said You’re making all things new
But I’m still waiting here for You to move
Oh
Where are you, Jesus?
Where are you, Jesus?
[BRIDGE]
Have I been broken for just too long
That you’ve forgotten me?
Or maybe You’re closer than I know
At work in places I can’t see
So, teach my heart
To hear Your voice
’Cause I need Your help
To drown out all the noise
[FINAL CHORUS]
Where are you, Jesus?
You said you’d be here soon
I keep searching for Your light
Even in the darkest room
Oh…
If You’re teaching me to wait
Please – at least help heal these wounds
Ohhh
Where are you, Jesus?
You said you’d be here soon
Where are you, Jesus?
You said you’d be here soon
