在我們的人生中，實在有太多的等待。
有短暫，有漫長，也有永無止盡的等待。
但原來我所有的等待，由始至終，都只是為了最愛我的那一位。
而也只有祂，能讓我有信心、愛和盼望，去完成這人生中最美麗的等待。
“For a long time, I’ve been waiting for You
You have won my heart, and I am following
For a long time, I’ve been crying out for You
Tears make my heart soft
And I am ready for the return of the Lover
Fashioned from the very fabric of God
At the start of time, set free to decide
I will love You, ’cause You’re the One who loved me first
Just one look from Your eyes
I’m captivated by the eyes of the Lover
Take my heart, my mind and strength too
I was made for loving You
I will wait, and I’ll be faithful
I was made for loving You
Bowing low in the presence of the One
At the end of time, I’ll hear the bells chime for our wedding
It will wait no longer now
Oh how I love You
I’ll finally fall into the arms of the Lover”
(不知道歌名，只是最近聽 Misty Edwards 在敬拜時唱過)
You can get a recording, not by Misty on Sweet Mercies album by David Ruis. Unfortunately it is out of print.
weve been looking too we are singing it at our church
The Mayhew Family has recorded an acapella version of this song on an EP produced by Don Chaffer of Waterdeep. It will be released April 2009. info: brad@mayhewfamily.org

Hi Brian,

A guy named John Janzen wrote this song. He was a worship leader at the Winnipeg Centre Vineyard in Winnipeg Canada. The song was recorded on John’s CD called “Think Again”. You can download it for free here:

I love this song… I was listening to some IHOP music while working, and the theme of the return of the Lover was on my mind.
Bless you
Wow I was looking for this song with guitar chords as I lost my copy. I sang this song on my wedding day almost 7 years ago, and had it almost memorized. I also used to have it on an old cassette tape. I will try to find out who sang it and get back to you =)

Hi Dave,
I heard Misty Edwards sang it during worship at the Prayer Room of the International House of Prayer. I’m not sure if this is her own song or not… and I couldn’t find an audio version too…
anyway, thanks for stopping by and may God bless you as you waiting on Him.
Hello there,
I found the lyrics to this beautiful song on your website via google. I am desperately looking for an audio version of it, I looked on iTunes and I could not find it… Do you know on which CD it is recorded and who sings it? And do you know where I can download it?
Thanks for your help. Greetings from Germany.
Dave
