Endless skies, the stars He numbered Creator breathes, He never slumbers No fatigue can touch the Everlasting One Weary world keeps spinning faster But You hold the thread of every chapter In the silence, where the broken come undone Jesus walked the road before us In the desert, on the mountain, in the garden Showed us how to wait — surrendered, fully given By the Spirit’s strength now indwelling Breath of God, Your power compelling Twist our lives into the pattern of the risen Son I hear the whisper in the waiting hour Twist these fragile strands into Your power Wait, I will wait —, bind my heart to Yours Twist my life into Your rope, unbreakable, forever sure Follow in the steps of Jesus, by the Spirit’s mighty wind Those who bind themselves to You will mount on eagle’s wings and soar Renew my strength, Lord, renew my strength As I wait on You Wait, I will wait —, bind my heart to Yours Twist my life into Your rope, unbreakable, forever sure Follow in the steps of Jesus, by the Spirit’s mighty wind Those who bind themselves to You will mount on eagle’s wings and soar Renew my strength, Lord, renew my strength As I wait on You Running hard but feet are failing Walking long, the road is wailing But You lift the tired, give the faint a second breath Not by might, not by my striving But by the cord of grace arriving Intertwined with Christ, the Holy Spirit gives new life and death No passive pause, this hope is fierce and true I tie my soul in rhythm, Lord, with You Chorus Wait, I will wait —, bind my heart to Yours Twist my life into Your rope, unbreakable, forever sure Follow in the steps of Jesus, by the Spirit’s mighty wind Those who bind themselves to You will mount on eagle’s wings and soar Renew my strength, Lord, renew my strength As I wait on You Those who bind themselves to You will mount on eagle’s wings and soar Renew my strength, Lord, renew my strength As I wait on You Not sitting idle, not just counting days But leaning in, entwined in all Your ways Like Jesus in Gethsemane, “Not my will but Yours” Holy Spirit, come and fill us with Your love Feel when You run, we run — when You rest, we rest Three-cord strand that stands the fiercest test Oh the tension pulls us closer still… Wait! (echoes) Wait, I will wait —, bind my heart to Yours Twist my life into Your rope, unbreakable, forever sure Follow in the steps of Jesus, by the Spirit’s mighty wind Those who bind themselves to You will mount on eagle’s wings and soar Renew my strength, Lord, renew my strength As I wait on You Those who bind themselves to You will mount on eagle’s wings and soar Renew my strength, Lord, renew my strength As I wait on You Those who bind themselves to You will mount on eagle’s wings and soar Renew my strength, Lord, renew my strength As I wait on You (We wait on You… bind us, Lord… follow Jesus… Spirit lead us… mount up, mount up…)
