1. 1. Jehovah, you are just,

   And you are always fair.

   Oppression of the innocent

   Is hard for you to bear.

   Resentment fills my heart at times

   With all that I’ve been through.

   It’s not my place to take revenge

   —⁠That belongs to you.

   (CHORUS)

   I’ll wait on you, Jehovah,

   When trials are intense.

   Trusting you for justice,

   You’ll come to my defense.

2. 2. Imprisonment or ridicule

   —⁠Whatever comes my way

   From family, from governments,

   Whatever form it takes⁠—

   Already I’ve prepared my heart

   To face whatever test.

   My Father, you will make me strong.

   My heart can be at rest.

   (CHORUS)

   I’ll wait on you, Jehovah,

   When trials are intense.

   Trusting you for justice,

   You’ll come to my defense.

   (BRIDGE)

   Justice! How will justice come?

   Only by you, not by man.

   Justice! Let your justice come.

   All suffering and pain

   Will then be all undone.

   (CHORUS)

   I’ll wait on you, Jehovah,

   When trials are intense.

   Trusting you for justice,

   You’ll come to my defense.
