Waiting on the Lord,
For the promise given;
Waiting on the Lord
To send from heaven;
Waiting on the Lord,
By our faith receiving;
Waiting in the upper room.

Refrain
The power! The power!
Gives victory over sin
And purity within;
The power! The power!
The power they had at Pentecost.

Waiting on the Lord,
Giving all to Jesus;
Waiting on the Lord,
Till from sin He frees us;
Waiting on the Lord for
The heavenly breezes;
Waiting in the upper room.

Waiting on the Lord,
Longing to mount higher;
Waiting on the Lord,
Having great desire;
Waiting on the Lord for
The heavenly fire;
Waiting in the upper room.
