I Wait Upon The Lord

Genesis 28:14-16, King James Version

And thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shalt spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south: and in thee and in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed.
And, behold, I am with thee, and will keep thee in all places whither thou goest, and will bring thee again into this land; for I will not leave thee, until I have done that which I have spoken to thee of.
And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and he said, Surely the LORD is in this place; and I knew it not.

I Wait Upon The Lord

I wait upon the Lord,
Holy patience and perseverance,
Clutching His two edged sword;
His guidance and instruction,
Sometimes chastisement,
Keeping me free of becoming self-absorbed.

I wait upon the Lord,
His grace and tender mercy
Bestowed upon me,
Darkness lifted,
Eternal salvation,
His glorious light I see.

I wait upon the Lord,
His protection with outstretched hand,
With courage and faith I follow,
Bringing me into the promised land.

Amen.
