Lyrics of I am waiting for the lord

I am waiting for the lord

I am waiting for the lord
To appear in the eastern sky
Where he'll beckon me to come,
And receive me to his side

"as surely as i live, " you said,
Your glory would fill all the earth.
And though i've known your blessedness
My being longs to see your face

No more tears nor crying there,
No more fears, nor dying there
Your presence and your smile, o lord,
And your welcome, more than my rewards.

Your goodness overwhelms me lord
Your greatness even more
But to see the joy upon your face
When you lead me through the pearly gates.

I am waiting for the lord
On that day he'll be calling me
Calling me to his very presence,
Where i'll live eternally

I am waiting for you lord
On that day youll be calling me
Calling me to your very presence,
Where i'll live eternally
