Hoping and Waiting

Hoping and waiting,
My heart's set upon You
Hoping and waiting,
Your presence is clear
All of my life has now been given
For Your salvation and love
Hoping and waiting,
My life depends on You
Hoping and waiting,
You, Lord, are never late

If I call on You
While reading the bible
Yes, You are there, and
If I call on You
While dealing with problems
Yes, You are there,
If I call on You
While holding a baby
Yes, You are there,
Oh, Lord I'm -
Hoping and waiting,
Till I have the nerve to ...
Hoping and waiting,
Should I wait to serve You?
Hoping and waiting,
You, Lord, are never late

Hoping and waiting,
My heart beats all for You
Hoping and waiting,
With rev'rence and fear
All of my being is now so open
To drink up Your love and grace
Hoping and waiting,
To soak up Your blessings
Hoping and waiting,
You, Lord, are ever great

If I call on You
While praying for wisdom
Yes, You are there, and
If I call on You
While serving a neighbor
Yes, You are there,
If I call on You
While asking forgiveness
Yes, You are there,
Oh, Lord I'm -
Hoping and waiting,
There's no need to hurry
Hoping and waiting,
Being still, I won't worry
Hoping and waiting,
You, Lord, are never late

Hoping and waiting,
My heart sings about You
Hoping and waiting,
Your word's in my ear
All of my hopes are now riding
In life's journey of trust
Hoping and waiting,
To wait for You only
Hoping and waiting,
I'm ready to serve You in faith

If I call on You
While sitting in prison
Yes, You are there, and
If I call on You
While hearing a sermon
Yes, You are there,
If I call on You
While helping the children
Yes, You are there,
Oh, Lord I'm -
Hoping and waiting,
Till time has a-ripened
Hoping and waiting,
Suspense will be tightened.
Hoping and waiting,
You, Lord, are never late
