A voice on the other end said "Where in the world have you been" I said "I been all around, But I ain't seen a thing"
I was lying in my bed Trying to arrange my head When a letter came in from Him Saying I was dead
It was signed in blood, it was mailed Into my heart Though the channel was clear, I didn't want to hear, it made me worried
When you're out with the boys Walking paranoid, and all your toys Make you discouraged, It's really sad you know
When you've nothing to show, And there it reads on the bottom line "I love you (I love you)... awaiting your reply"
Why did He have to word it like that Why can't He let me be It was bad enough that He offered His love, But why did He fry my head with that last line "Awaiting your reply"
I could laugh in the face of life I could laugh in the face of lies But I knew I couldn't keep Him waiting- I had so little time So I called Him up
Asked for Him by name He passed me the ticket And I boarded the plane We pulled out onto the airport runway We began to climb as the whole world exploded
I'd just asked Him for His lifeline The blood, the blood of Jesus is His lifeline So sit down and read His letter His love is clearly defined When you're done with His words You won't forget what you've heard And in His love, He'll haunt you day and night "Awaiting your reply"
