Riff on Psalm 130:6

My soul waits for the Lord,
more than watchmen wait for the morning.

Even when I am tired,
My soul waits for the Lord.

Even when I am discouraged,
My soul waits for the Lord.

When it feels as though I can't win,
My soul waits for the Lord.

When I feel like even my best ideas fall flat,
My soul waits for the Lord.

When I feel abandoned,
My soul waits for the Lord.

Though I feel stretched beyond my limits,
My soul waits for the Lord.

Though I feel the weight of the world on my shoulders,
My soul waits for the Lord.

Though I feel backed into a corner,
My soul waits for the Lord.

Though my ambitious plans seem out of reach,
My soul waits for the Lord.

When I'd rather just run away,
My soul waits for the Lord.

When the time I invest in my job seems in vain,
My soul waits for the Lord.

When my best efforts come up short,
My soul waits for the Lord.

Even when I begin to doubt myself,
My soul waits for the Lord.

Even when I cry out in anger and frustration,
My soul waits for the Lord.


My soul waits for the Lord,
more than watchmen wait for the morning.
More than watchmen wait for the morning.
