Let the Praises Ring: The Best of Lincoln Brewster album
Verified editorial review
Song Meaning
Lincoln Brewster's recording includes a child reciting Isaiah 40:28-31 directly before the song returns to its chorus — "the Lord is the everlasting God, the creator of all the earth, he never grows weak or weary." Having the prophecy spoken plainly, rather than only sung, keeps its specific wording in front of the listener.
"Strength will rise as we wait upon the Lord" and "lift us up on wings like eagles" both draw from the same passage's promise, "those who wait for Yahweh will renew their strength. They will mount up with wings like eagles." "You're the defender of the weak, You comfort those in need" extends the prophecy's logic outward — strength given not for its own sake, but specifically to those who have none left on their own.
Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
Strength will rise as we wait upon the Lord,
wait upon the Lord, we will wait upon the Lord.
Strength will rise as we wait upon the Lord,
wait upon the Lord, we will wait upon the Lord.
Our God, You reign forever
Our hope, our strong deliverer.
You are the everlasting God,
The everlasting God.
You do not faint,
You won't grow weary.
You're the defender of the weak,
You comfort those in need,
You lift us up on wings like eagles.
Strength will rise as we wait upon the Lord,
wait upon the Lord, we will wait upon the Lord.
Strength will rise as we wait upon the Lord,
wait upon the Lord, we will wait upon the Lord.
Our God, You reign forever
Our hope, our strong deliverer.
You are the everlasting God,
The everlasting God.
You do not faint,
You won't grow weary.
You're the defender of the weak,
You comfort those in need,
You lift us up on wings like eagles.
You are the everlasting God,
The everlasting God,
The everlasting God,
The everlasting...
Strength will rise as we wait upon the Lord,
wait upon the Lord, we will wait upon the Lord.
Strength will rise as we wait upon the Lord,
wait upon the Lord, we will wait upon the Lord.
[child speaking]
The Lord is the everlasting God,
The creator of all the Earth,
He never grows weak or weary,
No one can measure the depths of His understanding,
He gives power to the weak, and strength to the powerless,
Even youth will become weak and tired,
And young men will fall in exhaustion,
But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength,
They will soar high on wings like eagles,
They will run and not grow weary,
They will walk and not faint.
