Heaven Don’T Wait

I've carried guilt that wore me thin
Paid my dues in borrowed skin
The preacher said, "Son, count the cost,"
But grace don't live where love gets lost

My hands still shake from what I've done
But mercy moves, it don't outrun
I've begged for truth, I've prayed for peace
But faith's the chain that grants release


If the gate's still closed, I'll stand outside
No saint to lead, no place to hide

Heaven don't wait for the broken kind
You take your turn or you fall behind
If the grace you seek won't open wide
Then build your church on the other side
Heaven don't wait, it calls by name
Through the hurt, through the blame
If the door won't break, I'll still knock late —
'Cause heaven, heaven don't wait

I've heard good men forget their prayers
Trading truth for empty chairs
But in the dirt, I found a hymn
A song for those too scarred to win

There's a fire that cleans, not burns
A love that strikes and then returns
It ain't for gold, it ain't for fame
It's for the hearts that wear no name


If the gate's still closed, I'll stand outside
No saint to lead, no place to hide

Heaven don't wait for the broken kind
You take your turn or you fall behind
If the grace you seek won't open wide
Then build your church on the other side
Heaven don't wait, it calls by name
Through the hurt, through the blame
If the door won't break, I'll still knock late —
'Cause heaven, heaven don't wait


(Choir) Can the lost be found?
They already are
(Choir) Can the sinners rise?
They bear the scar
(Choir) Can the heavens bend?
Only for truth
(Choir) Can it start again?
Yeah — it starts with you

Heaven don't wait for the broken kind
You take your turn or you fall behind
If the grace you seek won't open wide
Then build your church on the other side
Heaven don't wait, it calls by name
Through the hurt, through the blame
If the door won't break, I'll still knock late —
'Cause heaven, heaven don't wait


Heaven
Don't wait
