"Watchman" lyrics

"Watchman"

If I'm fully honest
I'm waiting on Your promise
Even through the trauma that swept my friends away
The darkness is upon us
The death of saints and psalmists
But I will sing my song for You anyway

Because You're all I have Lord, You are the way
And I'll always love You, and I will wait
Like a watchman, at the gate
Waiting for morning, to break

I can feel the winds are changing
Getting further down the range and
Truth is looking stranger than the lies
Because it's simple and it's holy
It's better than they told me
Jesus You're my only guiding light

And You're all I have Lord, you are the way
And I'll always love You, and I will wait
Like a watchman, at the gate
Waiting for morning to break
Waiting to hear You say

Come on, enter in to my rest
And lay your head upon my chest
For I have called you friend
Because you kept your lamp burning through the night
And you made your garments pure and white
By my good sacrifice
Yeah, singing now my kingdom is with man
So come up to my table and
Raise up this glass with Me
Oh, singing no more tears and no more pain
I'm making all things new again
Just like I promised you
Sing alleluia all the way
And I'll always love You
And I will wait
Like a watchman at the gate
Lord, I'm a watchman at the gate
I'm waiting for morning to break
I'm waiting for morning to break
Keep my lamp burning
Stay awake
