Linda Allen - Waiting for the Morning Lyrics
I think I was his best friend,and I loved him long and well,From the Galilean mountainsto the lonely edge of hellAnd I loved him like a woman,and I loved him like a friendBut the very love that healed mejust might kill me in the endWaiting for the morning, waiting for the lightWaiting for the morning, waiting for the lightGod knows I was afflicted,'tho' it wasn't like some saidI was no whore, but other demonsdanced around my headThen he reached right out and touched me,and I looked into his faceI'll never understand it,but my soul was bathed in grace (Chorus)And so I came to be with him,He chose me on that daySome thought we were lovers,and we were -- well, --in a wayFor he shared his deepest thoughts with me,the shadow and the fearsI've never seen such courage,and my face has felt his tears (chorus)By day we walked & planned & hoped,by night we talked & prayedI think his friends were jealous,but they stayed out of my wayThen one day near Jerusalem,he shared a mysteryHe seemed so pale and frightened,I cried, "How can this be?" (Chorus)I went to tell the others,they could not understandI hardly understood myself --a sacrificial lamb?But then today the sky turned black,my love nailed to a treeThe others were in hiding,but I just had to see (Chorus)Besides this stony cavernwhere they laid him, it is coldThe darkness seems so heavy,and I feel so lost & oldThe tears are all cried out now,and I raise my fist and cry --What God would send an only sonto suffer and to die? (Chorus)I don't believe that God did that --it's people that are cruelThose who threaten powerwill be killed by those who ruleBut life springs forth from darkness,and this I do believeA life lived well and holyhas planted many seedsAnd I will pray and work and hope,and I will carry onAnd in the darkness listen forThe coming of the dawn (Chorus)
