We wait in hope for the Lord He is our help and our shield We wait in hope for the Lord He is our help in the darkest hour To my fear, I will not be held captive anymore I will sing a new song And shout for joy I will sing a new song Of endless praise That only you deserve By the word of the Lord The universe was made By the word of the Lord We are held in the strength of his hand To my fear, I will not be held captive anymore
