Psalm 27:14

WAIT ON THE LORD

Psalm 27:14. “Wait on the Lord; be of good courage, and He shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord.”

WAIT ON THE LORD. I wait on Him, who is my Light and has power, To remove all the darkness of night. This Light gives clear vision – the darkness is gone, Because the Lord Himself is my Light.

I wait on Him, who has strength for my life, To deal with the wicked at length. They come and fail to lead into strife Because the Lord Himself is my strength.

I wait on Him, who daily my heart cheers, And knows what I need lest I fall. He understands me and all of my cares, Because the Lord Himself knows it all.

I wait on Him, who dwells among men, And His joy in their fellowship shows. I seek that place to see Him, and then, The Lord lets me dwell in His house.

I wait on Him, who is the believer’s delight, It is our joy when His face we behold. That place on the rock, the pavilion of light;

There, we see the beauty of the Lord.

I wait on Him, who lifts up my head, And victory over my enemies gives. Sacrifices of joy, more than words that are said And praises to the Lord I will sing.

It is clear to me that much more than I say, Or ask: He is willing to give. The course of my life that I walk each day, That path He is able to smooth.

To wait on the Lord is an act of faith. Courage to the believer, He gives. It is strength to the heart and joy to the life, Of the Christian who waits upon Him.

“O prayer hearing and prayer answering God: I have found by experience that in spite of the weakness of my prayer life, Thou dost answer my petitions. Whether “yes, no, or wait awhile,” I am sure the answers are right. Therefore, with the help of the Lord, I will continue to wait on Thee. Amen.”
