Let My Soul Wait Here

Spacious acoustic country-gospel prayer, 68 BPM, 6/8, G major, Bubba unmistakably MALE warm baritone, Darlene unmistakably FEMALE gentle soulful alto with her own second verse, Fingerpicked guitar, sparse kalimba, low upright bass and soft piano; no drums until faint brushes in final chorus, Slow recovered Holler Roll-Up G6-Em7-Cadd9-D7 with long rests; hook G-B-D-E-D-B answered A-B-D-C-B-G, played softly by tremolo harmonica, Leave breath between lines, no dramatic belting, Brief harmonica solo, intimate duet ending on G6

[Intro - Guitar and quiet kalimba] [Verse 1 - Bubba, male solo] They would lean against a weak wall, Push a shaken fence aside; With a blessing on their lips now, With a curse they keep inside. But my rescue is not hurried By the noise that fills the air; God alone has been my fortress, Let my soul wait here. [Chorus - Duet, softly] Let my soul wait here, Let my hope be clear; All my saving, all my shelter, God alone is near. I can pour my heart before Him, Every sorrow, every fear; In the keeping of His power, Let my soul wait here. [Verse 2 - Darlene, female solo] Low and high upon the balance Are a breath that cannot stay; Do not build your trust on stealing, Do not buy an evil way. If your riches grow around you, Do not give your heart to gold; All the power belongs to God, and All His mercy still will hold. [Instrumental Break - Tremolo harmonica; silence between phrases] [Bridge - Darlene, female solo] You will judge our earthly working, You will weigh what we have done; Strength and mercy both are Yours, Lord, You, our refuge, You alone. [Final Chorus - Duet] Let my soul wait here, Let my hope be clear; All my saving, all my shelter, God alone is near. I can pour my heart before Him, Every sorrow, every fear; In the keeping of His power, Let my soul wait here. [Outro - Bubba, male] Let the quiet hold this prayer. [Darlene, female] God, my hope is resting there.
