He Waits For Me
Consumed By Fire Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
when I need a getaway
there's a peace I know
that sooths the soul
And this life I've found
I know it's not my own
so when I run to you
it's like I'm running home
where I find peace
I find my way
down by the water
He waits for me
where I find strength for each and every day
joy in the midst of any pain
I believe down by the water
He waits for me
so if you're rollin' the dice
and just tryin to make it through
there are hands that are reaching out for you
and if you're holding back tears
and just trying to be strong
there's a place that is calling out for you
this is the place that I'm always running to
yes it is
where I find peace
I find my way
down by the water
He waits for me
where I find strength for each and every day
joy in the midst of any pain
I believe down by the water
He waits for me
yeah
oh there is peace
here down by the water
lay it down
here down by the water
lay it down
here down by the water
He waits
He waits
He waits for me
here down by the water
just lay it down
here down by the water
lay it down
here down by the water
He waits
He waits
He waits for me
here down by the water
There is joy
here down by the water
And there is strength
here down by the water
He waits
He waits
where I find peace
I find my way
down by the water
He waits for me
where I find strength for each and every day
joy in the midst of any pain
I believe down by the water
He waits for me

So much simple truth in this song and presented so beautifully. If you've wandered away He's waiting, longing for you to come back. No matter what you've done. He loves you that much! And He's just a prayer away. Don't keep Him waiting any longer. Let Him wash you, heal you, love you, make you whole again.

I lost my husband 30+ yrs ago, at the young age of 33. Worship got me thru, centered my heart and mind on Jesus. Oh, how He loves us. Be still my soul. God is with you. My heartfelt condolences ❤️🙏 to both you & your friend. "God, I KNOW that You Love me. You know my past, present and future. I trust You." These are the words that came to my mind the morning after my husband was killed in car accident. I believe it was the Holy Spirit that gave me these words. It was this Spirit- led revelation of God's Love ❤ that has carried me thru many of lives storms since.
