Waiting In The Shadowland

Verse

Waiting in the Shadowland

Here between life and death

Watching my family waiting here

As I approach my final rest.

Verse

Hearing their talk of memories

Things of joy from the past

Makes me want to hold them close

That those memories will always last.

Chorus

Waiting in the Shadowland

my place between life and death

I await my Savior's call to me

When I'll take my final breath.

Verse

Seeing how my body lays

A shell of my former life

Wondering if it was all worth it

The worry and the strife.

Verse

Realizing now there was so much more

The many things I should have done

Knowing now there was one big thing

Finding faith was the only one.

Chorus

Waiting in the Shadowland

my place between life and death

I await my Savior's call to me

When I'll take my final breath.

Verse

For all of this life may be behind

If God decides to take me there

And the future on earth I had hoped for

Disappears without much flair.

Verse

And the, should have, could have things

That on earth God sent my way

As I look back at them now

I would have stopped to pray.

Chorus

Waiting in the Shadowland

my place between life and death

I await my Savior's call to me

When I'll take my final breath.

Verse

So my children and my love

As you wait here with me

Take time in your grieving heart

To say, “Jesus, I believe.”

Verse

As time slips by and I fade away

Rejoice for me when I am gone

Put Christ in your heart and believe

And join me around God's eternal home.

Chorus

Waiting in the Shadowland

my place between life and death

I await my Savior's call to me

When I'll take my final breath.
