My Soul Waits

I wait quietly before God For my victory comes from Him He alone is my rock and my salvation My fortress where I will never be shaken So many enemies against one man All of them trying to kill me To them I'm just a broken-down wall Or a tottering fence They plan to topple me from my high position They delight in telling lies about me They praise me to my face but curse me in their hearts Oh My soul wait silently for God alone For my expectation is from Him He alone is my rock and my salvation My fortress where I will never be shaken My victory and honor come from God alone He is my refuge A rock where no enemy can reach me Oh My people trust in Him at all times Pour out your heart to Him For God is our refuge Common people are as worthless as a puff of wind And the powerful are not what they appear to be If you weigh them on the scales together They are lighter than a breath of air
