[ti: Maranatha]
[length: 04:40]
[00:44.30]Maranatha is a cry of the heart
[00:48.56]That’s hopeful yet weary of waiting
[00:53.11]While it may be joyful with the burdens it bears
[00:57.47]It’s sick with anticipating
[01:10.93]To long for the promised one day after day
[01:15.48]And the promise that soon He’d return
[01:19.91]It’s certain that waiting’s the most bitter lesson
[01:24.34]A believing heart has to learn
[01:34.62](Maranatha) how many more moments must this waiting last
[01:43.81](Maranatha) we long for the time when all time is past
[01:53.36]A commotion, a call, then that will be all
[01:57.76]Though it’s not yet the hour, the minutes are ticking away
[02:11.66]Maranatha is the shout of the few
[02:15.51]Who for so long in history’ve been hiding
[02:20.17]Who truly believe that the sound of that call
[02:24.62]Might actually hasten his coming
[02:37.99]For no eye has seen, and no ear has yet heard
[02:42.33]And no mind has ever conceived
[02:46.92]The joy of the moment when He will appear
[02:51.37]To the wonder of all who believe
[03:01.69](Maranatha) how many more moments must this waiting last?
[03:10.80](Maranatha) we long for the time when all time is past
[03:20.21]A commotion, a call and that will be all
[03:24.62]Though it’s not yet the hour, the minutes are ticking away
[03:28.82](Maranatha) how hungry we are just to see your face
[03:37.40](Parousia) to finally fall in one long embrace
[03:47.19]A commotion, a call and that will be all
[03:51.46]Though it’s not yet the hour, the minutes are ticking away
