Samantha Ebert - The Hallway

  Samantha Ebert - The Hallway

The rug beneath my feet
was pulled from under me
and I’m pacing 
down an endless corridor

I’ve memorized these walls
the papers peeling off
and I’m anxious 
to escape this metaphor

PRE-CHORUS
I don’t do patience well
but if waiting’s what You’re asking
teach me how to dwell right here

CHORUS
slow down my restless
till it’s You that I find
bring peace to the present
and calm my wandering mind
I don’t know what’s coming 
around the next bend
will You open up the door ever again?
if I have to wait, I’ll be okay
cause You’re still God in the hallway

VERSE
if I could skip ahead
fast forward to the end
then I might miss 
what you have right here and now

so keep sustaining me
be everything I need
and remind me You’re enough 
and show me how to

CHORUS
slow down my restless
till it’s You that I find
bring peace to the present
and calm my wandering mind
I don’t know what’s coming 
around the next bend
will You open up the door ever again?
if I have to wait, I’ll be okay
cause You’re still God in the hallway

BRIDGE
in the waiting rooms
at the traffic lights
in all the places that I feel confined

CHORUS
slow down my restless
till it’s You that I find
bring peace to the present
and calm my wandering mind
I don’t know what’s coming 
around the next bend
will You open up the door ever again?
if I have to wait, I’ll be okay
cause You’re still God in the hallway
