1.
Waiting and waiting, I count the days,
Thinking of Your coming, my Lord Jesus.
Even if the world I see around me changes,
You have given me Your unchanging Word.

2.
I struggle on, swimming through this sea of life,
Worn down by sorrow and hardship.
I long for the joy You give,
To live with You and see Your beautiful, glorious face.

3.
There is nothing in this world I can truly call my own;
Jesus, You alone are enough for me.
At the final hour, even family and friends
May turn away, leaving only sorrow behind.

4.
Comfort me, O Leader of my faith;
This world is only a passing, temporary drama.
Bless me and, until my final breath,
Give me strength to keep singing Your praises.
