Maranatha

Maranatha, Maranatha
No one screams in the streets
Maranatha, Maranatha
I should breathe with each heartbeat

But Lord I am unready
To leave this world behind
I waiver here, unsteady
And reaching for more time

Maranatha, Maranatha
Once rang out in song so sweet
Maranatha, Maranatha
I should breathe with each heartbeat

But Lord I am unwilling
To give up what’s ahead
These stories of fulfilling
I have written in my head

Maranatha, Maranatha
Shouts of “Lord come quickly please!”
Maranatha, Maranatha
I should breathe with each heartbeat

But Lord I am unfaithful
Not clinging to you now
Hung up on a world so hateful
They pierced Your sacred brow

Maranatha, Maranatha
Lord won’t you make this my plea
Maranatha, Maranatha
Let me breathe with each heartbeat
