This is the groaning As You count every tear we have sown And we trust what those tears will become This is the stretching Making room for our hope to arrive Knowing You come to make us alive To make us alive We wait for light, we wait for rain Behold the life born out of pain Eyes to the dawn, we're not afraid We do not labor in vain We will keep breathing When the burden is too much to bear We can carry it if You are there And You will deliver All Your children to freedom and joy In our sorrow, we're lifting our voice Oh, we're lifting our voice We wait for light, we wait for rain Behold the life born out of pain Eyes to the dawn, we're not afraid We do not labor in vain We do not labor in vain We do not labor in vain We do not labor in vain This moment of affliction Is a quickly passing story And every heartbreak's making Us ready for Your glory We wait for light, we wait for rain Behold the life born out of pain Eyes to the dawn, we're not afraid We do not labor in vain We do not labor in vain We do not labor in vain We do not labor in vain We do not labor in vain We do not labor in vain We do not labor in vain We do not labor in vain We do not labor in vain We do not labor in vain We do not labor in vain
