[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?
