Copied!edit Lyrics
original text at lyrnow.com/1998576
Verse 1
A persecuted Lord, the One who gave us life, still you ignore
A crown of thorns, a blood-stained cross
You've been paid for

Chorus 1
On the floor (Don't wait)
Fold your hands together
Don't be afraid (No fear)
He's waiting there to love you

Verse 2
Still, you walk away turning your back on God the Father
Still, the Son remains at the door to your heart
Will you answer?

Chorus 1
On the floor (Don't wait)
Fold your hands together
Don't be afraid (No fear)
He's waiting there to love you

Bridge
What is there to gain? What would you sacrifice?
To be given the whole world to lose your very life
Your very life

Verse 3
A persecuted Lord, the One who gave us life, still you ignore
His crown of thorns, a blood-stained cross
You've been paid for

Chorus 1
On the floor (Don't wait)
Fold your hands together
Don't be afraid (No fear)
He's waiting there to love you

Chorus
On the floor (Don't wait)
One thing follows the other
Don't be afraid (No fear)
He's waiting there for you
