The Lord looks from heaven
He sees all the sons of men,
He who fashioned the hearts of them all,
And He who understands them.
He sees kings not saved by their armies.
He sees warriors trust in their strength.
He sees every false hope for victory.
Our soul waits for the Lord
He is our help and our shield
(3x)
Our soul waits for the Lord
Behold the eye of the Lord
Is on those who fear Him,
On those who trust in His lovingkindness to deliver them.
His love that will not let go
Will deliver from death their souls
And keep them alive in a time of famine.
Our soul waits for the Lord
He is our help and our shield
(3x)
Our soul waits for the Lord
Our heart rejoices in Him
Because we trust in His holy name.
Let your lovingkindness, O Lord, be upon us
For we have hoped in you.
(2x)
Our soul waits for the Lord
He is our help and our shield
(3x)
Our soul waits for the Lord
