[Verse 1]
It took three long days to roll the stone away
And it took Friday night for Sunday's empty grave, I know it
And it might be dark now, but dawn's about to break
Just wait, just wait (Come on, with faith, sing)
[Chorus]
Watch Him work all things together like He said He would
And waatch Him turn our trials and troubles into something good
Oh-oh, there's never been a moment wasted
The waiting is the place where faith is
So watch Him work, watch Him work
[Verse 2]
Don't lose heart, my soul, The King is on the move, yeah
Lift your weary head, 'cause breakthrough's coming soon, I know, I know
To see a miracle that only He can do
Just wait, oh, just wait
[Chorus]
And watch Him work all things together like He said He would
And watch Him turn our trials and troubles into something good
Oh-oh, there's never been a moment wasted
The waiting is the place where faith is
So watch Him work, watch Him work
(Woah, because He's good, sing)
[Bridge]
He's good and we've seen it
What He starts, He completes it
What He says, we believe it
We believe it, we believe it
He's good and we've seen it
What He starts, He completes it
What He says, we believe it
We believe it, we believe it (Oh, He's good, we sing)
He's good and we've seen it
What He starts, (I know) He completes it
What He says, we believe it
We believe it, we believe it (Oh, lift your voice)
[Chorus]
And watch Him work all things together like He said He would
And watch Him turn our trials and troubles into something good
I know there's never been a moment wasted
The waiting is the place where faith is
So watch Him work, watch Him work, woah
Just watch Him work, watch Him work, woah
Watch Him work, watch Him work
[Outro]
Oh, watch Him work
All things for our good, for His glory
That's what He does, oh, it's what He does
Thank You, Jesus
Come and do what You do
Come and do what You do
Watch Him Work
Song Meaning
Passion names the length of the wait before the outcome in "Watch Him Work" — "it took three long days to roll the stone away, and it took Friday night for Sunday's empty grave" — using the resurrection's own timeline as evidence that delay isn't the same as absence.
"It might be dark now, but dawn's about to break, just wait, just wait" applies that same pattern to a present, unnamed trial, and the chorus turns waiting into an instruction rather than a complaint: "watch Him work all things together like He said He would... the waiting is the place where faith is."
"Don't lose heart, my soul, the King is on the move" addresses the singer's own discouragement directly, treating it as something to be talked to rather than simply endured. "He's good and we've seen it, what He starts, He completes it, what He says, we believe it" repeats three times almost identically, building conviction through sheer repetition rather than new argument. The closing plea, "come and do what You do," repeated twice, ends the song still in the posture of watching rather than claiming the work is already finished.
