Sing like You Did
by Matthew Clark
The waiting is the hardest part
To hope for what you do not have
But faith is the evidence of things unseen
We have heard the prophets speaking
Say sin and death are only passing things
CHORUS
sing, sing like you did when the stars awoke
sing like you did when the tombstone broke
when every word you spoke came true
Sing, sing like you did on that silent night
Sing like you did when our hope took flight
When every word you spoke came true
So come and wake the sleeping hearts
Come and turn this stone to flesh
I believe the promises will all come true
But there are times I get so weary
Lord, is the night of waiting nearly through?
CHORUS
BRIDGE-verse
Make of us a willing womb
Brave enough to welcome you
Kindle in each winter heart a new-born flame
