While We Wait

By: Amanda Lindsey Cook

Transpose:
INTRO
E  F#sus  B/D#  G#m 

VERSE 1
      E
I was holding on with all my might 
     F#sus
Just praying for a ray of light  
  B/D#                               G#m
Someone to hold me through the night  
       E
When I thought that I had lost my mind  
           F#sus
When I was all alone and it got too quiet  
          B/D#                          G#m
You never let me go, never left my side 
 
CHORUS
             F#sus                 E
Cause You’re with us while we wait  
F#sus                              Badd9    
      You’re with us while we wait 
G#m            F#sus                E
      While we hope for better days  
F#sus                              Badd9   G#m  F#               
      You’re with us while we wait 

VERSE 2
          E
There’s a peace for our anxiety  
  F#sus
A comfort for our suffering  
      B/D#                       G#m
And a healing we have yet to see 

CHORUS

BRIDGE
       F#        E
You’re here in the center of all hopelessness  
     F#
When little of our faith is left  
       Badd9                      G#m
You’re lifting up our weary heads   
       F#          E         
You’re here in the tension of the life that was  
    F#
The here and now, the yet to come  
    Badd9                               G#m 
And through it all Your promise stands
