A world away and still not far Like fabric woven into ours The dawn, it shot out through the night And day is coming soon The Kingdom of the Morning Star Can pierce a cold and stony heart Its grace went through me like a sword And came out like a song Now I’m just waiting for the day In the shadows of the dawn But I won’t wait resting my bones I’ll take these foolishness roads of grace And run toward the dawn And when I rise and dawn turns to day I’ll shine as bright as the sun And these roads that I’ve run, will be wise It’s veiled and stands behind the shroud The final day when trumpets sound Sometimes I glimpse into the fog And listen for the song Til then I’m waiting for the day In the shadows of the dawn
