Wait Upon The Lord - The Imperials, Paul Smith

Hey, say, what’s your hurry?

Trying hard to run this race all by yourself

Oh, you’re growing weary

When you could be standing still

Could be learning how to wait upon the Lord

Nothing short of frantic

Trying hard to burn your candle at both ends

Oh, no need to panic

Let each new day always be

Just another chance to wait upon the Lord

Chasing after treasures that you’re wanting so

All you have is rusting in the rain

Instead of hold on, you should be letting go

In the end you’ll find it’s true

Giving up means coming back to you

So, hear what I’m saying

Let tomorrow come and take care of itself

Oh, you should be staying

Where your strength can b renewed

Com and take the time to wait upon the Lord

When your faith is failing

And your hope is gone

Victim of the burdens that you bear

Let Him be the one to cast your care upon

He will bring you eagle wings

To lift you through the air

Oh, it will be better

There is rest for those

Who take Him at His word

All will work together

For the ones who will obey

For the one who say I’ll wait upon the Lord
