Wait for the Lord is a gospel song uplifting the power of God. The lyricist encourages believers in the time of trial, with the call of a prophet, “When the wicked one comes to harm you/tear your flesh apart/Hold fast to what was promised.” God cannot lie, so the faithful must hold fast and wait for the Lord. Even when everyone else has forsaken the steadfast, “The Lord will take you in, and will teach the touch of God’s loving hand. So listen, be filled with courage, and continue to Wait for the Lord.
