I am waiting for the Lord I am waiting for the Lord To appear in the Eastern Sky Where He'll beckon me to come, And receive me to His side "As surely as I live, " You said, Your Glory would fill all the earth. And though I've known Your Blessedness My being longs to see Your Face No more tears nor crying There, No more fears, nor dying There Your Presence and your smile, O Lord, And Your welcome, more than my Rewards. Your Goodness overwhelms me Lord
Your Greatness even more But to see the joy upon Your Face When You lead me through the pearly Gates. I am waiting for the Lord On that day He'll be calling me Calling me to His very Presence, Where I'll live eternally I am waiting for You Lord On that day Youll be calling me Calling me to Your very Presence, Where I'll live eternally
