I’m down to my last drop of faith / My last ounce of strength / My knees are worn / From waitin’ on a miracle / I’ve prayed, God, I’ve prayed / I’ve stormed the gates in Jesus’ name / Crying out night and day / Just waitin’ on a miracle / But I don’t know how much longer / I can hold out hope tonight / And I wish my will was stronger / But instead I’m just a weary heart / Waitin’ on a miracle / I’ve heard Your hand can calm a raging sea / But can You calm the storm in me / ‘Cause that’s how it feels / When you’re waitin’ on a miracle / And my soul longs for the day / When I see the answer to the prayer I’ve prayed / And it’ll all be worth the wait / Waitin’ on a miracle

Behind the Song:
A SOLDIER WROTE TO ME FROM AFGANISTHAN ABOUT HOW DIFFICULT IT HAS BEEN TO BE AWAY FROM HIS WIFE AND CHILDREN AND HOW BOTH ARE LONGING FOR THE DAY THEY WILL BE REUNITED, AND HE PRAYS TO MAKE IT HOME SAFE AND SOUND. THIS IS ABOUT THE FAITH WE FIND IN THE WAITING. - Matthew West
