Story Behind The Song
This song was inspired by a speech given by Ruth Graham. My husband got to hear her speak in 2003 and shared with me the gist of her talk when he got home that night. I woke up with this song on my mind the next morning.

Lyrics
Wait on the Lord
©, Susan H. Wood, 2006
When doubt is in your mind
When peace you cannot find
The path is dark
Your heart filled with despair
If you?ll lift your eyes to Him
Open up and let Him in
He?ll show that
Your burdens He will bear
Chorus:
In the dark places hold on
When you?re feeling like your strength is gone
Put your trust in him
That?s where faith begins
When you?re feeling like you can?t go on
When your mind can?t rest, your nights are long
Give it all to Him
Remember He?s a friend
Just let it go
And wait on the Lord
Oh I waited on the Lord
And he opened up the door
To paths I never knew
Waited there
On this journey I will go
Where it leads I do not know
I trust my God
I know I?m in His care
Chorus:
In the dark places hold on
When you?re feeling like your strength is gone
Put your trust in him
That?s where faith begins
When you?re feeling like you can?t go on
When your mind can?t rest, your nights are long
Give it all to Him
Remember He?s a friend
Just let it go
And wait on the Lord
BRIDGE
In the dark places hold on
When you?re feeling like your strength is gone
Put your trust in him
That?s where faith begins
When you?re feeling like you can?t go on
When your mind can?t rest, your nights are long
Give it all to Him
Remember He?s a friend
Just let it go
And wait on the Lord
In the dark places hold on
When you?re feeling like your strength is gone
Put your trust in him
That?s where faith begins
When you?re feeling like you can?t go on
When your mind can?t rest, your nights are long
Give it all to Him
Remember He?s a friend
Just let it go
And wait on the Lord
When you?re feeling like you can?t go on
When your mind can?t rest, your nights are long
Give it all to Him
Remember He?s a friend
Just let it go
And wait on the Lord
