I will wait on God

I will wait for the Lord
I will wait for the Lord
He is the goal
The desire of my soul
I will wait for the Lord

When everything I plan
Slips through my hands like sand
I will wait for the Lord

When days seem gray
Crashing like cold winter waves
I will wait for the Lord

When hope burns down
Melting away throughout my day
I will wait for the Lord

He hears me when I pray
He loves me come what may
I will wait for the Lord

cjb
I wait for the LORD, my soul waits, and in his word I put my hope.
Psalm 130:5 (NIV)

Newest Soldiers


Ephesians 6:13-18
"Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints."
