I will stand upon my watch Set me upon a tower I will watch to see what the Lord will say unto me He said write the vision, Make it plain upon the tables That he may run that readeth it, For the vision is for an appointed time, At the end it shall speak and not lie I know that you?ve been waiting for a while Seems like your blessings they just keep passing you by Everybody?s got something going on You?re waiting for the dream that you can call your own Though in the fire you?ve been thoroughly tried God is not a man that He should ever lie, He won?t ever lie And if He said it just you surely wait For the just man shall live by his faith I?ve got a word for you and it ain?t nothin? new This is what you oughta do - rehearse His promises to you It is only by His grace that we have the patience to wait You oughta give God His praise Whatever He?s told you, whatever He?s shown you Count it already done cause only He can do Don?t stagger at his promise, just you believe Like Abraham our father, you shall receive.
