Keeping Watch - Margaret Becker

Out over the hillside

I see the houselights shine

Burning bright to guide somebody home

Here inside my own house

I am lighting mine

And it burns against the night for You alone

Until these arms grow too heavy

To hold this candle high

Until these eyes grow too weary

To search the midnight sky

Until this heart has stopped its beating

Until these dreams have all run dry

I’ll be keeping watch for You

Friends are all around me

There’s laughter in my home

But still sometimes I feel so far away

Here inside of my heart

I’ll always be alone

Until I finally touch Your gentle face

(repeat Chorus)

Everything inside of me

Is missing something without You

I don’t care if it takes forever

I’ll keep waiting here for You

Waiting here for You

I don’t care how long it takes

I don’t care how much it takes

I’m waiting here

For You

(repeat Chorus)

I’ll be keeping watch for You
