I am empty but I know

So I wait for You
So I wait for You
I've fallen on my knees
Offering all my needs

Broken I run to You
For Your arms are open wide
I am weary but I know Your touch
Restores my life
So I wait for You
So I wait for you

I remember when I moved back to Gallup, the praise and worship leader didn’t let us sing these songs because he said they were old, he was wrong. I still love this song
