Keep Watch, Waiting for

[Spoken Introduction] When guidance is hard to understand, we can pause and remember: we are not asked to see every reason at once. We can keep watch, trust Jehovah’s care, and take the next faithful step together. [Verse 1] A word comes down from caring hands, And I don’t see the whole road yet. My mind can count the hills ahead, Or hold the kindness I’ve been sent. The ones who guide us have their limits, Like every heart that tries to serve; Still, faith can rest in Jehovah’s wisdom, And trust the care behind each word. [Pre-Chorus] I’ll listen with a willing heart, I’ll leave the timing in his hands. [Chorus] I will keep watch, waiting for Jehovah, Trusting he knows what each day brings. I’ll walk in faith beside my brothers, With a willing heart and steady feet. When I can’t see the reason clearly, I can still choose the path of peace. I will keep watch, waiting for Jehovah; He sees the road ahead of me. [Verse 2] We make room for one another, Speak with patience, act with care. Every humble act of listening Helps keep our congregation near. Obedience is more than duty; It can show the trust we hold. And if a change is truly needed, Jehovah knows when it should unfold. [Pre-Chorus] I’ll listen with a willing heart, I’ll leave the timing in his hands. [Chorus] I will keep watch, waiting for Jehovah, Trusting he knows what each day brings. I’ll walk in faith beside my brothers, With a willing heart and steady feet. When I can’t see the reason clearly, I can still choose the path of peace. I will keep watch, waiting for Jehovah; He sees the road ahead of me. [Instrumental Interlude] [Bridge] No need to know the turn before me, No need to carry every why. I’ll do the good that’s mine to do now, And let his loving care reply. [Final Chorus] I will keep watch, waiting for Jehovah, Trusting he knows what each day brings. I’ll walk in faith beside my brothers, With a willing heart and steady feet. When I can’t see the reason clearly, I can still choose the path of peace. I will keep watch, waiting for Jehovah; He sees the road ahead of me. [Outro] I’ll keep watch, waiting for Jehovah, One faithful step at a time.
