Steady

Oh,
wait
upon
the
Lord
Wait
for
the
visiom
Habakkuk
cried, "
Jehovah,
how
long?"
The
world
is
broken,
what
is
going
wrong?
Jehovah
answered, "
Stand
and
wait,
My
purpose
comes
at
the
perfect
date."
Write
the
vision,
make
it
plain,
Though
it
tarries,
it's
never
in
vain.
The
righteous
will
live
by
faith
each
day,
Trust
in
Jehovah
and
obey.
Pre-Chorus
When
the
storm
is
raging
high,
Keep
your
faith,
don't
ask
why.
Jehovah's
timing
never
fails,
His
loving
purpose
always
prevails.
Chorus
Wait
for
the
vision,
don't
lose
hope,
Jehovah
will
help
you
cope.
When
He
speaks,
His
word
stands
strong,
He's
been
faithful
all
along.
Praise
Jah!
Praise
Jah!
He
will
never
leave
His
own.
Praise
Jah!
Praise
Jah!
He'll
bring
His
children
safely
home.
Verse 2
Jonah
heard
Jehovah's
call, "
Go
to
Nineveh
and
warn
them
all."
But
Jonah
ran
the
other
way,
Thinking
he
could
escape
that
day.
The
wind
arose,
the
sea
grew
wild,
Every
sailor
stood
terrified.
Thrown
into
the
raging
sea,
A
great
fish
swallowed
him
instantly.
Pre-Chorus
From
the
darkness
Jonah
prayed,
Jehovah
heard
though
he
had
strayed.
Mercy
reached
him
from
below,
Showing
love
that
all
should
know.
Chorus
Wait
for
the
vision,
don't
lose
hope,
Jehovah
will
help
you
cope.
When
He
calls,
don't
run
away,
Choose
obedience
every
day.
Praise
Jah!
Praise
Jah!
His
mercy
reaches
far
and
wide.
Praise
Jah!
Praise
Jah!
In
His
love
we
safely
hide.
Bridge
Habakkuk
waited
with
faithful
eyes,
Jonah
learned
that
no
one
hides.
One
teaches
faith,
one
teaches
grace,
Both
reveal
Jehovah's
loving
ways.
Final
Chorus
Though
the
fig
tree
has
no
fruit,
Though
the
fields
produce
no
food,
Still
we'll
sing
and
still
we'll
stand,
Safe
within
Jehovah's
hand.
Wait
for
the
vision,
trust
His
way,
He'll
fulfill
His
word
one
day.
Like
Habakkuk
we'll
walk
by
faith,
Like
Jonah
we'll
obey
with
haste.
Outro
Write
the
vision,
make
it
plain.
Don't
run
from
Jehovah—
trust
His
name.
By
faith
we'll
stand
until
the
end,
For
Jehovah
is
our
faithful
Friend.
Praise
Jah!
