A Long Wait

I was listening to Third Day's "Wire" last night and was inspired to write my own version of the song. I think sharing it will help me cope a bit better with all the difficult choices that I'm going to have to make in the upcoming weeks.

THIRD DAY - WIRE Turn on the spotlight; strike up the band Everyone's looking my way They came to see the excitement firsthand And hear all that I've got to say Oh, it makes me wonder What if I slip, will they catch me, or watch me fall? I am walking on a wire I tiptoe in through the fire Never looking down, to see that I am walking on a wire The pressure's getting higher, but I don't look around Everyone roots for the winner The others well maybe next time Your time at the top only lasts fifteen minutes Then they just leave you behind Oh, it makes me wonder What if I slip, will they catch me, or watch me fall? I am walking on a wire I tiptoe in through the fire Never looking down, to see that I am walking on a wire The pressure's getting higher, but I don't look around It’s so far to the ground Will they catch me if I fall? Will they catch me if I fall? Oh, it makes me wonder What if I slip, will they catch me, or watch me fall? I am walking on a wire I tiptoe in through the fire Never looking down, to see that I am walking on a wire The pressure's getting higher, but I don't look around It's so far to the ground I'm never looking down

Oh, it makes me wonder What if I slip, will He catch me, or teach me more? I am walking on a wire Not working on my own desire Still wishing this would end, but praying, “If I need to walk the wire, help in my heart to aspire closer to your ways.” Time is running through my fingers Can’t bother slowing down the time One day, I know, it’ll all come together But patience has never been my best virtue Oh, it makes me wonder What if I slip, will He catch me, or teach me more? I am walking on a wire Not working on my own desire Still wishing this would end, but praying, “If I need to walk the wire, help in my heart to aspire closer to your ways.” To my God I praise Will He catch me if I fall? Will He catch me if I fall? Oh, it makes me wonder What if I slip, will He catch me, or teach me more? I am walking on a wire Not working on my own desire Still wishing this would end, but praying, “If I need to walk the wire, help in my heart to aspire closer to your ways.” To my God I praise For you, my life I lay
