While You Wait
by Billy Gaines, Sarah Gaines, Fred Hammond

Daniel prayed to the Lord
But the answer was delayed
And when the angel finally came
With these words he then explained

God heard your prayer
The very first moment you prayed
And then He sent me on my way
For twenty-one days the devil tried
To keep me from drawing near
But because you persevered
I'm standing with the answer right here

So while you wait on Him
Rejoice and trust in Him
The answer's on the way
Though you may have to wait
He'll never be too late
So praise Him while you wait

You've had to wait for some time
On an answer from the Lord
And everywhere that you turn
Seems you only find closed doors

Don't you start murmuring
Don't let your heart complain
And from accusing God refrain
For all you know that answer
Might depend on what you say
So whatever may be the case
Let your mouth be filled with praise

So while you wait on Him
Rejoice and trust in Him
The answer's on the way
Though you may have to wait
He'll never be too late
So praise Him while you wait

So while you wait on Him
Rejoice and trust in Him
The answer's on the way
Though you may have to wait
He'll never be too late
So praise Him while you wait

C'mon, brother Fred!

In the middle of the day
Lord, I'm waiting on You
(Ooh-ooh...)
Or in the middle of the night
Lord, I'm waiting on You
(In the middle of the night, yeah, yeah)
Until You take my tears away
Lord, I'm waiting on You
(Waiting on you)
Until my problems You'll fight, yeah
Lord, I'm waiting, waiting
(Oh, oh, oh, oh...)

Don't you start murmuring
Don't let your heart complain
And from accusing God refrain
(Oh-oh-oh-oh...)
For all you know that answer
Might depend on what you say
(Whoa-ooh...)
So whatever may be the case
Let your mouth be filled with praise

So while you wait on Him
Rejoice and trust in Him
The answer's on the way
Though you may have to wait
He'll never be too late
So praise Him while you wait

So while you wait on Him
Rejoice and trust in Him
The answer's on the way
Though you may have to wait
He'll never be too late
So praise Him while you wait
