Waiting For Him

Oh God my heart aches for that one true man
To come in my life and make me feel whole again
I guess sometimes I feel I ask for too much
Only to get let down and feel like a crutch

I see so many other couples so happy and in love
At times I have to wonder do you hear my plea from above
I hide the hurt so that way others don't know
And keep a smile on my face with a glow

So many nights I cry myself to sleep
Dealing with my pain that is so deep
I just want to be loved and needed you see
I guess I'm just not seeing it and shame on
me 

Many times others have hurt me in my life
And at one time I had such hatred and strife
But God you showed me how to love like no other
And keep the faith and forgive my sisters and my brother

One day that love will come from afar
And wipe out all this pain and the scars
Until then I will trust God to lead me the right way
And hold onto Faith for that special day
