By Mark Caldwell-Reiss

I.

Our soul waits for the LORD.

God is our Help and our Shield.

Righteousness and Justice are loved by God’s Word.

Nations will stop and to God they will yield.

II.

God is our Help and our Shield.

God frustrates the peoples’ plans.

So, nations are stymied until to God they’ll yield.

Satisfy our ache and remove death from our span.

III.

God frustrates the plans of the peoples.

And yet it rains outside.

Even in death and famine you make us stable.

Through the windows I hear the rain of a morningtide.

IV.

It rains outside.

The rain calms my soul.

Justice & Right, God has applied.

I wait with God’s love. I am full.
