    Story Behind the Song
    After recording my frist original, I decided to lay down another tune that was floating around in my mind. It took about 3 hours to write and record. Again, I am flying solo on this. Just me, my guitar, and my computer. The toughest part was dubbing the backgound vocals over the rest. I added two background parts so timing was critical.

    Lyrics
    Verse 1:
    I come to this place
    Just to seek Your face
    and Your warm embrace
    I've been cryin', yea
    and I can't find my way
    and I can't find the words to say
    but I will pray anyway
    and I'll keep tryin'

    Chorus:
    Cause I see myself in a better place someday
    (oh, You're gonna come and get me)
    You'll come back just to carry me away
    (Yea, You'll make me holy)
    You'll take me to that better place someday
    (Where I will walk with You)
    And I'll walk with You in a better place someday

    Verse 2:
    So I throw my hands up in the air
    I fall down on my knees like I just don't care
    I know I'll find You anywhere
    If I keep on tryin'
    I let You in my heart and You'll do the rest
    I try to do my part just to give You my best
    My sins are cast from East to the West
    Now I feel like flyin'

    Chorus:

    Bridge:
    Like a thief in the night
    Like the blink of an eye
    so fast no time to wonder why
    You said we don't know the day
    and we don't know what time
    You're coming back when the seasons right

    Chorus:

    Ending:
    I wait for You my Lord, I wait for You my Jesus
    Because You're coming back, You're coming back for me (2X)
