One day the Lord laid his hands on me children
He told me to go and he'll go along with me
He gave me a song to sing (Oh yeah)
And this song just rings in my mind every now and then,
The song he gave me to sing goes something just like this
What you waiting on? (Waiting on the trumpet to sound)
Hey Lord (Waiting on the trumpet to sound)
Ooo Lordy (Waiting on the trumpet to sound)
Keep on waiting (Waiting on the trumpet to sound)
If you're waiting out there today (Waiting on the trumpet to sound)
You better keep on waiting (Waiting on the trumpet to sound)
I better tell you what he said to me, now look here:
He said, they're going to be singing
Shouting, preaching, shaking hands
Lord (Waiting on the trumpet to sound)
Do you know me Lord (Waiting on the trumpet to sound)
Keep on waiting out there today (Waiting on the trumpet to sound)
See sometimes you got to wait (Waiting on the trumpet to sound)
He said, he may not come when you want
(Waiting on the trumpet to sound)
But he's always right on time (Waiting on the trumpet to sound)
Look here:
And I'm waiting (I'm waiting, yes, I'm waiting)
I've waited for a long time (I'm waiting, yes, I'm waiting)
I keep on waiting (I'm waiting, yes, I'm waiting)
Sometimes I would struggle (I'm waiting, yes, I'm waiting)
Friends called me a lot of names (I'm waiting, yes, I'm waiting)
But I keep on waiting (I'm waiting, yes, I'm waiting)
He said when you blow your last blow (I'm waiting, yes, I'm waiting)
Then you won't be able to blow no more
(I'm waiting, yes, I'm waiting)
When you give up the right for the wrong
(I'm waiting, yes, I'm waiting)
