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.

Refrain

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.
