I'm gonna wait on the Lord
My blessings are on the way
I'm gonna wait on the Lord
No matter what the people say
He said He's put no more on me
than I'd be able to bear
And whever I need a friend I can
call Him and He'll be right there
If I delight myself in Him, He'll give
me the desires of my heart
I won't worry, or complain or fret or cry
I'll let God do His job
I'm gonna wait on the Lord
My deliverance is on the way
I'm gonna wait on the Lord
My healing is on the way
When I don't know just what to do
He steps right in and brings me through
When I have tried and tried and failed
That's when the Lord's grace prevailed
I'm gonna wait on the Lord
Waiting---with all of my heart
Waiting---sometimes the road is long
Waiting---but I refuse to give up
On the Lord
I'm gonna wait on the Lord
Vamp:

Verse 1:
Though the pressures of life seems to weigh you down,
and you don't know which way to turn;
God is concerned and He's working it out for you.
Verse 2:
The child that's on cocaine, through prayer he can change.
That marriage that's on the verge of breaking up,
although sometimes you have to walk alone.
Now you ask yourself, is there a word from the Lord?,
you need a blessing and you need it right away;
God is concerned and He's working it out for you.
Verse 3:
No peace in the home, and no peace on the job,
the bills are due, and your health is failing too;
God is concerned and He's working it out for you.

He's working it out,
He's working it out for you.
God cares,
I'm so glad to know He cares,
I'm so glad to know He cares,
Chorus 1:
He's all over me and He's keeping me alive.
He's all over me and He's keeping me alive.

I know that He's keeping me alive,
He's keeping me alive.

I'm glad that He's mine.
He's all over me and He's keeping me alive.
I know that He's keeping me alive,
He's keeping me alive.
Verse:
Like the Hebrew boys were thrown in the firey furnace,
everybody thought it was over for them,
but the Lord brought them out alright.
He's a sure foundation, the God of all creation;
there's nothing that He won't do for you,
you can trust Him, He'll see you through.
Vamp:
He's on my right,
He's on my left,
in front and back,
underneath, over me,
and He's living down inside.
Ending:
I know that He's keeping me alive,
You may feel down
and feel like God has somehow forgotten
That are faced with circumstances
that you can't get through
Right now it seems that there's no way out
You're going under
God's proven time and time again
He'll take care of you
Chorus
He'll do it again (God will do it again)
He'll do it again (Yes He will do it again)
Just take a look at where you are now
And where you been
Has He always come through for you
He's the same now as then
(Don't you know God has not changed)
You may not know how
You may not know when
But he'll do it again
God knows the things that you're going through
And how you are hurting
He understands just how your heart has been
broken in two
He's the God of the sun, the stars, the sea
He is your father
He'll calm the storm
He'll find a way
And he'll fix it for you
Chorus
He's still God
He will not fail you
He's still God
He has not changed
I know He's still God
And He's fighting for you
Just like Daniel
Just like Moses
Just like Shadarach, Messiach, Abendengo
Chorus
I know that He will
I tried him for myself
You may not know how
(Talk: He's an on time God, yes He is.
Have you ever called Him and it looked
like He wasn't coming. You paid your tithes,
you did everything that was right, but yet
it looked like you stayed sick all the time.
But I come tonight to tell you He will come.
Look at somebody and tell them He will come.
You been calling on the Lord come on)
You've been calling on the lord
And it seem like he won't come
You've been crying and praying

and don't give in. Jesus told me

To your will and to your way
I'll say yes, Lord, yes
I will trust you and obey
When your Spirit speaks to me
With my whole heart I'll agree
And my answer will be yes, Lord, yes
If I never knew the fullness
of living in your will
I would never know which way my life would be
In my willingness to serve
I surely don't deserve
all the blessings you have showered over me.
I'll say yes, Lord, yes
To your will and to your way
I'll say yes, Lord, yes
I will trust you and obey
When your Spirit speaks to me
With my whole heart I'll agree

because you're wasting your time.
Stong nan you gotta leave here,
because you're wasting your time.

but strong man you gotta get out of here,
remember grace all of the children comes through you;
strong man you gotta leave here,
because you're wasting your time

My sister's little boy came in the kitchen one evening while she was fixing supper
and he handed her a piece paper he had been writing on
and after wiping her hands on an apron
She took it in her hands and read it
and this is what it said:
For mowing the yard $5
And for making up my own bed this week $1
For going to the store $.50
And playing with little brother while you went shopping $.25
Taking out the trash $1
And for getting a good report card $5
And for raking the yard $2
Total owed $14.75
Well she looked at him standing there and expecting
And a thousand memories flashed through her mind
So she picked up pen and turned the paper over and this is what she wrote:
For the 9 months I carried you holding you inside me $ NO CHARGE
For the nights I sat up with doctored you and prayed for you $ NO CHARGE
For the time and tears and the costs through the years
There is NO CHARGE
When you add it all up the full cost of my love is $ NO CHARGE
For the nights filled with grey
And the worries ahead
For the advice and the knowledge
And the costs of your college
$ NO CHARGE
For the toys, school, and clothes
And for wiping your nose
There's NO CHARGE son
When you add it all the full cost of my love is NO CHARGE
Well you know when I think about that
I think about the day that Jesus went out to Calvary and gave his life as a ransom for me
When I think on the words
"If Any Man be in Christ He's A New Creature"
I like to think about the very minute that he shedded his blood
My debt was paid in full
And I want you to know today when you add it all up
CHORUS
Let the redeemed of the Lord say so
Let the redeemed of the Lord say so
If you need it, God's got it
Right now you can have it
Let the redeemed of the Lord say so
Let the redeemed of the Lord say so
Let the redeemed of the Lord say so
If you need it, God's got it
By faith you can have it
Let the redeemed of the Lord say so
The Lord is merficul and He is good
In spite of what you may have done
When you whine and murmer
And complain all the time
You haven't prayed like you should
So speak to the mountain
Whenever they come
Tell the mountain
Move on out of my way
So speak and affirm it
And stand and wait
It's gotta move, whenever you pray
CHORUS
Speak the word into my spirit Lord - I need to hear from you
My very soul is thirsty Lord - Just a word from you will do
Lord you're more than life to me - That's why I'm clinging close to thee
I want to hear you when you speak - It's your face I will seek
Send your word, send your word, in my spirit Lord
If you speak into my spirit Lord - I know that I won't go wrong
If you send down your word Lord - You'll give me strength to carry on
Give me ears to hear your voice - In my life you are my choice
I want to know you when your speak - It's your face Lord I will seek
Send your word, send your word, in my spirit Lord (repeat)

Verse 1
You may ask me why I serve the Lord,
is it just for heaven's gain,
or to walk the mighty streets of gold,
and to hear the angels sing?
Is it just to drink from the fountain,
that never will run dry,
or just to live forever and ever,
in that sweet old by and by.
Chorus
But if heaven never were promised to me,
even God's promise to live eternally.
It's been worth just having the Lord in my life,
living in a world of darkness,
He brought me the light.
If there were never any streets of gold,
even a land where we'd never grow old,
it's been worth just having the Lord in my life.
Living in a world of darkness,
He brought me the light.
Living in a world of darkness,

I remember Mama,
and the love that she gave
Kneeling by her bed side
I can still hear Mama say,
"The people are depending on you, Shirley,
don't you let them down"
I remember Mama in a happy way
We went to school with holes in our shoes
We didn't have much but the Lord saw us through
Mama kept the family together
I remember Mama in a happy way
She packed our lunch in an old greasy bag
It might've seemed empty,
but it was more than others had
It had a lot of love way down deep inside and
I remember Mama in a happy way
Now Mama is sleeping in the bosom of Jesus Christ
Somehow I know she's smiling, she's smiling on us right now
One day I'll see her again, how happy I will be
And I remember Mama in a happy way
My brothers and sisters, they're living far apart
Although my Mama's gone, she's right here in our hearts
We're all gonna pull together and stay in the holy place
I remember Mama in a happy way
Chorus:

Talk about me just as much as you please,
but the more that you talk,
I'm gonna sell cds.
Everybody's tripping on this track,
'cause it's so groundbreaking,
that we're taking church back to the streets.
Stomp on the devil,

Verse 1
Have you ever wondered
Why God loves us so
There's so many tests and trials
But there is one thing I surely know
Sometimes I walk in the valley
A place where the rubber meets the road
But I can surely say right now
That all of my strength comes from the Lord
Chorus
Now with everything that I have left
I'm gonna make it last
Giving up the right for the wrong

And right now that I know Gods word

And the best is yet to come
