Waiting For The Dawn

1st
Well it’s late & after midnight
& I can’t find my rest.
My day was a disaster
filled with things that I detest.
I’ve spent a lot of time a’weeping.
But I’m gonna sing a new song
because joys coming on in the morning.
I’m just wait’n for the dawn.
Chorus
I’m wait’n for the dawn.
It won’t be long.
Wait’n for the start of a brand new day.
I’m ready for a fresh & new beginning.
I’m press’n on.
I’m gonna roll it away.
Well I’ve spent enough time
in the graveyard.
From the dead I’m mov’n on.
The sun/Son is gonna shine again.
I’m Wait’n for the dawn.
2nd
Well the clock crept slow for an angel
who was camped out behind a tree.
God gave him clear cut orders.
He undertook them nervously.
Come dawn at the tomb of Jesus
He was to roll that stone away.
As He looked toward the horizon
I believe you’d hear that angel say.
