"Waited So Long Tryna Hold On"

Intro: 

Heaven knew I needed time

to heal my wounds and free my mind

my path to worship lies behind the line

Just a chance so I can kneel

before Your throne and I can feel

the love You freely give 

and I'll be fine

Verse: 

Kept my head in the battle

Had me grazing just like cattle

Ate the word now I'm freed up

Prep for war test my mettle

No time to be foolish but better

Yesterday I was on the grind

Living a life full of pleasure

Now I'm filled with dat new wine

Scuttered with visions of heaven

His voice singing all around

Took over what I been frettin'

Hit the alter and I laid it down

Free from the cost when I was lost

Debt was the pow'r it had me

Now I'm redeemed fully indeed

Cause of your love on the cross see

Pre-Chorus: 

Waited so long, tryin’ to hold on...and

I can be strong with Your hand on

Your grace and mercy are a coverin'...yeah

Your grace and mercy are a coverin'...yeah (x2)

Chorus: 

Dio (God)

Tu Sei (You are)

Santo, Santo (Holy, Holy) [Lodo il signore] I praise the Lord

Proclamiamo (We proclaim)

Gloria, Gloria (Glory, glory)(x2)

Verse 2: 

First in line for the message

Didn't know it would wreck me

Dug up all that was deep inside

Scraping hard for a blessin'

Tryna get in but a wall's up

Heavy heart with a bitter cup

Guarded in all my sufferin'

Headed down in a tailspin

Once I was confused, now I'm infused new blood got

another DNA

Rhythm and praise every arm raised gotta say today was a better day

Perfect my stance and…spirit got me dancin'

Not a sucker fa love or the enemy's drug

Tryna prep for the day that I meet Him above.

(New life like Breakin Dawn…He came and put me on)

(I’m praise…sins erased and all)

Pre-Chorus: 

Waited so long, tryin to hold on...and

I can count on that Your love's strong

Your grace and mercy are a coverin’...yeah

Your grace and mercy are a coverin’...yeah

Chorus:

Dio (God)

Tu Sei (You are)

Santo, Santo (Holy, Holy) [Lodo il signore] I praise the Lord

Proclamiamo (We proclaim)

Gloria, Gloria (Glory, glory)
