Time after time I went searching for peace in some void - I was

Trying to blame all my ills on this world I was in;

Surface relationships used me till I was done in -

And all the while someone was begging to free me from sin!

He was there all the time, He was there all the time;

Waiting patiently in line, He was there all the time!

Never again will I look for a fake rainbow's end - Now that

I have the answer my life is just starting to rhyme;

Sharing each new day with Him is a cup of fresh life -

But O What I missed! He'd been waiting right there all the time!

He was there all the time, He was there all the time;

Waiting patiently in line, He was there all the time!
