I wait, my soul waits for the Lord.
My hope is in His word.
More than the watchmen wait for light,
my soul waits for the Lord.

1 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.

2 Were 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.

Chorus 1
I will wait for You, I will wait for You,
on Your word I will rely.
I will wait for You, surely wait for You,
till my soul is satisfied.

3 So, put Your hope in God alone.
Take courage in His power to save,
completely and forever won
by Christ's emerging from the grave. (chorus)

4 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. Chorus 1

Chorus 2
I will wait for You, I will wait for You,
through the storm and through the night.
I will wait for You, surely wait for You,
for Your love is my delight.
