Why Wait

All of us share one common thread
Live in this world of walking dead
If the sun comes out another day Then I say
Why wait? Why wait?

Oh, why wait?
The sun is out and I say let's celebrate
You sit inside a darkened place
But mercy shines and I say why wait?

I had a son named Isaac
Just a moment he was here
And then it was an alter
Where worship met with fear
Then I saw a dove
Come down with holy light
A sign over the One
Who deserves your ear tonight

I hiked a mountain with the son I love
Went there to leave him alone in the mud
Then my joy surprised me when it came
And I said why wait? why wait?

I've heard of fire in a the burning brush
But when I saw it my voice spoke up
I said oh God that lamb is life to me
That lamb will die, and I'll walk away free
