Inspired by “When My Moment Comes” – music by Sue Riley/words by Leddy Hammock:
“I stand alone, I close my eyes and wait, against the wind, steady and strong.
I am unmoved, for I am not afraid. I stand and wait, for I know how to wait, I’m holding on.
Beneath this veil of who I seem to be, Truth is the staff I lean upon. I come to claim what has been promised me and give my heart that was a broken heart a brand new dawn. For when my moment comes, when my moment comes, like the phoenix I’ll arise, when it comes. Like a seal upon my heart, my sacred destiny, a brand new start!
For when my moment comes, when my moment comes. like the phoenix I’ll arise, when it comes.”
