Lyrics

Solo and Duet

Someone is long­ing to find you, Lord,
Hungry to­day for the liv­ing word,
And blind­ly is grop­ing his way un­to God,
Someone is wait­ing for you.

Duet

Waiting for you, wait­ing for you,
Harvest is rea­dy, the work­ers are few,
Someone is wait­ing, is wait­ing for you;
Someone is wait­ing, is wait­ing for you.

Someone is bur­dened with guilt and sin,
Earnestly long­ing to be made clean;
O Christ­ian, go forth, there are souls now to win,
Someone is wait­ing for you.

Duet

Let your light shine with a lov­ing glow;
Help men to Je­sus wher­e’er you go;
If you are a Christ­ian, you sure­ly must know,
Someone is wait­ing for you.
