Waiting for God's Embrace
Lyrics
Waiting in God’s Embrace (Psalms 27)
*Based of Psalms 27. We are hoping that in your time of desperation, you'll remember that the Lord is still in control. Even if you're forsaken or alone in despair, the Lord will never leave you, He is always there.
[Verse 1]
The Lord is my light, my salvation, my song,
Whom shall I fear when He makes me strong?
The stronghold of life, my refuge, my shield,
No power on earth can make me yield.
[verse 2]
When the wicked rise, when they come for me,
They’ll stumble and fall, it’s His victory.
Though an army surrounds, though war may rise,
My heart will not fear, for He hears my cries.
[Chorus]
Wait for the Lord, be strong and take heart,
In the darkest of nights, He’s where I start.
I will dwell in His house, in His presence stay,
And gaze on His beauty every day.
Wait for the Lord, oh, wait for the Lord.
[Verse 3]
In the day of trouble, He’ll shelter my soul,
Hide me in His tent, and make me whole.
He’ll lift me up high, set my feet on the rock,
Above every storm, above every shock.
[verse 4]
With shouts of joy, I will sing His praise,
In His sacred tent, my hands I’ll raise.
Hear my voice, O Lord, when I call Your name,
Be merciful now, Your love’s still the same.
[Chorus]
Wait for the Lord, be strong and take heart,
In the darkest of nights, He’s where I start.
I will dwell in His house, in His presence stay,
And gaze on His beauty every day.
Wait for the Lord, oh, wait for the Lord.
Teach me Your way, Lord, lead me on through,
Though enemies rise, I’ll trust in You.
Though false tongues speak and they try to betray,
Your hand will guide me along the way.
Outro
Even if I’m forsaken, alone in despair,
You’ll never leave me; You’re always there.
I remain confident, this truth I’ll see,
Your goodness reigns for eternity.
Wait for the Lord!
