We have been waiting giving ourselves to prayer We have been crying, staining the ground with tears We know that You can hear our voice We know that You move through our voice Now is the time for the river to rise Now is the time for Your people to lift up their eyes Our eyes up to you Lord Through intercession we tune our ears to You Watching and waiting when to release Your truth You spoke the heavens and the earth We speak the heavens into earth Now is the time for the river to rise Now is the time for Your people to lift up their eyes Now is the time for Your people to pray Now is the time for Your people to wait on You, Lord We wait on You Lord I will wait, I will watch, I will pray, I'll weep Until Your river rolls out of me Jesus out of me Hear the sound of the broken rising to Your throne Hear the sound of the broken as we're singing hymns of hope We were once enslaved now Your freedom reigns We were once in chains now Your freedom, Your freedom reigns
