Waiting on the Lord, for the pro­mise giv­en;
Waiting on the Lord, to send from Hea­ven;
Waiting on the Lord, by our faith re­ceiv­ing;
Waiting in the up­per room.

Refrain

The pow­er! the pow­er!
Gives vic­t’ry ov­er sin, and pu­ri­ty with­in;
The pow­er! the pow­er!
The pow’r they had at Pen­te­cost.

Waiting on the Lord, giv­ing all to Je­sus;
Waiting on the Lord, till from sin He frees us;
Waiting on the Lord for the heav’n­ly breez­es;
Waiting in the up­per room.

Refrain

Waiting on the Lord, long­ing to mount high­er;
Waiting on the Lord, hav­ing great de­sire;
Waiting on the Lord, for the heav’n­ly fire;
Waiting in the up­per room.
