Start Jamming...
[Eb] I must have been at a weight on the [Ab] Lord.
[Eb] He said I renew [Ebm] your strength.
And when you wait on him,
[Eb] he'll make things all right.
[Ebm] When you wait on him,
[Ab] [Eb] he'll bring that wondering child back home.
When [Ebm] you wait on the Lord,
[Eb] [Ebm] he'll make you in a mist to be at peace with you.
Have you ever [Ab] in your [Eb] life,
when you ask the Lord to spare
[Bbm] [Ebm] a sick loved one's life,
and they died anyhow?
You need to do faith in God
and realize that God does not [Ab] make [Eb] mistakes.
[Ab] And though [Ebm] he doesn't,
he deals [Eb] with patience.
[Ebm] Somebody came to me one day,
[Ab] [Eb] said, Sister [Ebm] Shirley,
I've been asking [Eb] God for me for a long time.
[Ebm] [Eb] I thought I had what I wanted.
What do I do when I name him
[Ebm] and [Ab] claim her?
[Eb] And somebody else [Ebm] walks down the aisle with him.
Well, [Eb]
[Ebm] I told them,
don't worry [Db] about it.
[Eb] He wasn't yours, no how.
I'll give you about two weeks.
[Ebm]
You'll want to throw him back.
What do I do, Shirley Ann?
When I go to the car [Db] lot
[Ebm] and name and claim a car,
and somebody else drives off [Db] in it.
[Ebm] Well, that's not the only car they made.
Wait on [Ab] the Lord,
[Ebm] good [Db] God [Eb] almighty.
What [Ebm] do I do
[Ab] when I lay my hands on a house?
God told me he'd give me the desire of my heart.
[Eb] And somebody else moves [Ebm] into it.
Let me tell you what to do.
Don't lose no sleep
over that house.
I heard the Lord say,
[Ab] I've got another building.
I've got another house for you.
If you can just wait on the Lord.
[Eb] That's what [Ab] I did.
[Ebm] I made up [Ab] in my [Eb] mind.
I had to wait on the [Ebm] Lord.
So what you need to do
is do like I did.
And purpose in your heart.
And say [Eb] this,
I'm gonna [Bb] wait on the [Eb] Lord.
[Ab] My blessings are on [Eb] the way.
I'm gonna wait on the [Cm] Lord.
[Fm] No matter what you [Db] gonna say.
[Eb] [Ab] He said it put no [Eb] more on me
[Fm] that I'd be [Eb] able to bear.
[Ab] Whenever I [Eb] need a [Dbm] friend,
[F] I can call it and it'll be [Bb] right [Eb] there.
[Ab]
My [Eb] servant here,
[G] he'll give me the [Cm] desires of my heart.
[Ab] I won't worry, I [Eb] won't complain.
[Ab] [Bb] God do his [Eb] job.
I'm gonna wait on the [Cm] Lord.
[Ab] My deliverance [Eb] is on the [Fm] way.
Yes [Eb] it is.
I'm gonna wait on the [Cm] Lord.
Well, [Fm] my healing is [Eb] on the way.
When [Gm] I don't know just [Cm] what to do.
He's got the [Gm] right here [Cm] to bring me through.
When I [Gm] have tried and [Eb] tried and failed.
[Gm] That's when the Lord of [Db] grace [C] prepared [Fm] me.
[Gm] Oh Lord I'm gonna [Eb] wait on the Lord.
Hey, [Ab] waitin'. Waitin'.
With all of my heart, yes I [Bb] am.
Waitin'.
Sometimes the road [Gm] is long.
[G] Waitin'.
But I refuse [Bb] to give up.
[Fm]
[Eb] [Ab] I keep on waitin'.
You can't afford to [Bb] give up now.

[G] I know you've [Abm] been going [C] through.

He will come when [Ab] you're worried.

You might have to wait in your [Ab] rain.

You might have to drink that bitter [Ab] cup.

But you gotta [Abm] refuse to give up.
[Ab] You let go of God's hand.
I heard your home say the other day.
Don't waste my life.
Yeah, [Db] well I [Gb] must give up.
[Abm] Keep on waitin'.
Sometimes you gotta wait when you're worried.

It's [Ab] hurtin' sometimes.

[Ab] Don't give up the race.
