I will wait for You O Lord
Cause You have filled my heart with joy
You lift me higher and higher
You're my one and only desire
You put a new song in my mouth
A hymn of praise to You
All I wanna do when I wake up
Is spend my day with You
You put a new song in my mouth
A hymn of praise to You
I put my feet on the Rock Lord
I put my trust in You
Sing a new song
Sing a new song
I will wait for You O Lord
I will wait for You O Lord
I will wait for You O Lord
I will wait for You O Lord
Cause You have filled my heart with joy
You lift me higher and higher
You're my one and only desire
Many will see You and fear You Lord
Put their trust in You
Many will see You and fear You Lord
Put their trust in You
Sing a new song
Sing a new song
Sing a new song
Sing a new song
I will wait
I will wait for You
