The Band of Gideon and Other Lyrics/I'm A-waiting and A-watching
I'm A-waiting and A-watching
I'm a-waiting and a-watching for the day that has no end,For the sun that's ever shining, for its rays that ever blend;For the light that casts no shadows, for the sky that's ever fair,For the rose that's ever blooming as its fragrance fills the air.
I'm a-waiting and a-watching for the land that knows no night;Where the terrors of the darkness are dispelled in morning's light,Where the murmurs of the breezes blend themselves into a song,And the silvery carol echoes to the heavens, soft and long.
I'm a-waiting and a-watching for the song that's never o'er,For the joy that's never ending on that light-emblazoned shore,For the peace that shall enfold me with the heavens' holy breath,For the glory that shall greet me, for the life that knows no death.
