Keeping Watch

Margaret Becker


Out over the hillside 
I see the houselights shine 
Burning bright to guide somebody home 
Here inside my own house 
I am lighting mine 
And it burns against the night for You alone 

CHORUS 
Until these arms grow too heavy 
To hold this candle high 
Until these eyes grow too weary 
To search the midnight sky 
Until this heart has stopped its beating 
Until these dreams have all run dry 
I'll be keeping watch for You 

Friends are all around me 
There's laughter in my home 
But still sometimes I feel so far away 
Here inside of my heart 
I'll always be alone 
Until I finally touch Your gentle face 

(repeat Chorus) 

Everything inside of me 
Is missing something without You 
I don't care if it takes forever 
I'll keep waiting here for You 
Waiting here for You 
I don't care how long it takes 
I don't care how much it takes 
I'm waiting here 
For You 

(repeat Chorus) 

I'll be keeping watch for You
