Words and Music: Stephanie Staples

Longing heart of mine finds its rest here, in your arms
These bitter waters will not cause me to lose heart
I'm claiming the victory in spite of what is past
I'm pleading for mercy and the faith to stand steadfast

And I'll hold on to you
Lord, I know you'll be true
To this child who is clinging to your heart
And I'll hope, hope in you
When the sky isn't blue
And the clouds hide your rainbow from my eyes

All my desire is not hidden from your eyes
You know each prayer before I pray it; you're so wise

I trust you'll deliver me when you think the time is right
Your presence will comfort me and help me sing as I learn to lean

And hold on to you
Lord, I know you'll be true
To this child who is clinging to your heart

And I'll hope, hope in you
When the sky isn't blue
And the clouds hide your rainbow from my eyes

And hold on to you
Lord, I know you'll be true
To this child who is waiting for your time

And I'll hope, hope in you
When the sky isn't blue
And the clouds hide your rainbow from my eyes
