I pray my soul waits for the Lord My hope is in His word More than the watchman waits for dawn My soul waits for the Lord Out of the depths I cry to you In darkest places I will call Incline your ear to me anew And hear my cry for mercy, Lord Where you to count my sinful ways How could I come before your throne Yet full forgiveness meets my gaze I stand redeemed by Grace alone I will wait for you (×2) On your word, I will rely I will wait for you, surely wait for you Till my soul is satisfied So put your hope in God alone Take courage in his power to save Completely and forever won By Christ emerging from the grave I will wait for you (×2) On your word, I will rely I will wait for you, surely wait for you Till my soul is satisfied Now he has come to make a way And God himself has paid the price That all who trust in him today Find healing in his sacrifice I will wait for you (×2) On your word, I will rely I will wait for you, surely wait for you Till my soul is satisfied I will wait for you (×2) Through the storm and through the night I will wait for you, surely wait for you For your love is my desire
