I will wait for the Lord
I will wait to be restored
All the saints gone before
O, they wait for the Lord
I will wait for the Lord
And though my sin takes hold,
his forgiveness renews my soul
I will put my hope
in the One who never fails
I will wait for the Lord
From a dark, broken place
Trapped in night, I cry for day
How my whole being waits
O, it waits for the Lord
I will wait for the Lord
And though my sin takes hold,
his forgiveness renews my soul
I will put my hope
in the One who never fails
I will wait for the Lord
More than watchmen wait for morning,
More than midnight waits for day,
Let our hearts and hands be open,
And our souls alive, awake
God, your love buried death
and forgives every unclean breath.
Like a child at the door,
I will wait for the Lord
We will wait for the Lord
And though my sin takes hold,
his forgiveness renews my soul
I will put my hope
in the One who never fails
I will wait for the Lord
I will wait for the Lord
I will wait for the Lord
