Lyrics
Strength will rise as we wait upon the Lord
We will wait upon the Lord
We will wait upon the Lord (2)
Our God, You reign forever
Our hope, our Strong Deliverer
You are the everlasting God
The everlasting God
You do not faint You won't grow weary
Strength will rise as we wait upon the Lord
We will wait upon the Lord
We will wait upon the Lord (2)
Our God, You reign forever
Our hope, our Strong Deliverer
You are the everlasting God
The everlasting God
You do not faint You won't grow weary
You're the defender of the weak
You comfort those in need
You lift us up on wings like eagles ||Our God||

Because God never grows weary or faints, we can surrender our exhaustion into His faithful hands. As we lift our hearts to Him today, may we feel His quiet peace renewing our souls from the inside out.
