I Will Wait for My Change

Man is born of woman
His days are few and full of trouble
He springs up like a flower and withers
And disappears like a fleeing shadow

If only You would hide me in the grave
Conceal me 'til Your anger has passed
Then I will answer You
When You call my name
When You long for the one
Your hands have made

All the days of my struggle
I will wait for my change
I will wait for my change to come
Only do not hide Your face from me
Don't take Your hand away
Don't take Your hand away

I will wait for my change to come

From the dust You have made me
And to the dust I will return
Surely You will count all my steps
But will not keep watch for my sin

The falling mountains crumble away
The water wears away the stones
Its torrents wash away
The dust of the earth
Only in You will I hope

All the days of my struggle
I will wait for my change
I will wait for my change to come
Only do not hide Your face from me
Don't take Your hand away
Don't take Your hand away

All the days of my struggle
I will wait for my change
I will wait for my change to come
Only do not hide Your face from me
Don't take Your hand away
Don't take Your hand away

I will wait for my change to come
I will wait for my change to come
