lyrics

Once was a man who was deep in pain,
struggling through his life.
And in his trouble he turned to God,
master of his life.

"God, will you help me?
Please, will you help me!"
earnestly prayed the man to God.
"God, will you help me?"
Please, will you help me!
Please, will you send me help, oh God."

Later that evening a knock was heard
on the man’s front door.
There stood a friend who had come to call,
and he spoke as so:

"Friend, may I help you?
Here, may I help you?
Brother, I’m here to help now.
Friend, may I help you?
Here, may I help you?
Brother, I'm here to help you now."

But said the man as he shook his head:
“No, I must decline.
For I am waiting upon the Lord:
must not depend on man.”

"See, I am waiting,
here I am waiting.
I put my hope in God alone.
See, I am waiting,
still I am waiting.
I must depend on God alone."

And so the man turned his friend away,
and he returned to his prayers.
