I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits
And in His word I put my hope
I wait for the Lord
More than watchmen wait for the morning
More than watchmen wait for the morning

Out of the depths I cry to You
Lord, hear my voice
Let Your ears be attentive
To my cry for mercy
If You, Lord, kept a record of sins
Lord, who could stand?
But with You there is forgiveness
So that we can, with reverence, serve You

I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits
And in His word I put my hope
I wait for the Lord
More than watchmen wait for the morning
More than watchmen wait for the morning

Israel, put Your hope in the Lord
For with the Lord is unfailing love
And with Him is full redemption
He himself will redeem Israel
From all their sins

I wait for the Lord
More than watchmen wait for the morning
More than watchmen, more than watchmen wait
I wait for the Lord
More than watchmen wait for the morning
More than watchmen, more than watchmen wait

I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits
And in His word I put my hope
I wait for the Lord
More than watchmen wait for the morning
More than watchmen wait for the morning
