(yeah) [Verse 1: Childhood testimony] When I was a little child, they counted me out (they did) Said handicapped, said I'd never stand, no normal childhood But You saw me, Lord, You carried me on sparrow's wings What the doctors said I couldn't do, You made my spirit sing You took those broken labels and You turned them into grace And You proved that Your power shows up in the weakest place [Chorus: Psalm 27:14 - Big] Wait on the Lord, be of good courage (wait on Him) He shall strengthen thine heart, wait, I say, on the Lord (Psalm 27 and 14) In the midst of our troubles, You were beside us In the middle of the storm, Your hand would guide us These troubles only for a season, but Your promise stands I'm waiting on the good harvest to come [Verse 2: Service and sons, daughter in Heaven] I went on to serve, boots on the ground, You kept me then Raised beautiful sons, Lord, You blessed me time and again One's in Heaven now, but Lord I'm grateful for the time You gave Thank You for every moment, every laugh, every day And for my daughter, not born here, but she never left Your side She's got a place by the Heavenly Father, where the angels reside You were beside us in our weeping, beside us in our pain You never left us, never failed us, through the sunshine and the rain [Chorus: Bigger, choir joins] Wait on the Lord, be of good courage (oh wait on Him) He shall strengthen thine heart, wait, I say, on the Lord In the midst of our troubles, You were beside us (You were there) In the midst of our sorrows, Your love would guide us These troubles only for a season, this night won't last always I'm waiting on the good harvest to come (good harvest comin') [Bridge: Breakdown - female ad-lib, testimony vamp] [Music drops to keyboard + soft drums] If it had not been for You... where would I be?
