He looked through temples of time
To see you right where you stand
He emptied all of himself
So he could reach out his hand
To give hope and meaning
To the wasted away
And you are one of the ones
That he was dying to save
[Chorus:]
He was dying to reach you
Trying to meet you
Where you need him most
You've been living in search of
The whole truth and real love
Your whole life through
You can open your heart
'Cause he's dying to reach you
He's standing there at the door
You can hear him call you by name
He simply waits to forgive
All of the guilt and the shame
He gave up his own life
And he still bears the scars
He only wants to receive you
So come as you are
[Chorus:]
Oh, he has waited time and time before
You must be still and know that he is lord
To see you right where you stand
He emptied all of himself
So he could reach out his hand
To give hope and meaning
To the wasted away
And you are one of the ones
That he was dying to save
[Chorus:]
He was dying to reach you
Trying to meet you
Where you need him most
You've been living in search of
The whole truth and real love
Your whole life through
You can open your heart
'Cause he's dying to reach you
He's standing there at the door
You can hear him call you by name
He simply waits to forgive
All of the guilt and the shame
He gave up his own life
And he still bears the scars
He only wants to receive you
So come as you are
[Chorus:]
Oh, he has waited time and time before
You must be still and know that he is lord
