Lyrics
Strength will rise as we wait upon the Lord
Wait upon the Lord, We will wait upon the Lord
Strength will rise as we wait upon the Lord
Wait upon the Lord, We will wait upon the Lord
Our God You reign forever
Our hope, Our strong deliverer
You are the everlasting God
The everlasting God
You do not faint, You won't grow weary
You're the defender of the weak
You comfort those in need
You lift us up on wings like eagles
You are the everlasting God
The everlasting God, The everlasting God
The everlasting

Meaning & Inspiration
“Everlasting God” builds its message around waiting on the Lord when human strength is limited. Its repeated opening turns patience into an act of trust, while the description of God as ruler, hope, and deliverer keeps the focus on divine constancy. The central declaration contrasts human weariness with a God who neither faints nor grows tired. That contrast gives the song a clear worshipful direction without minimizing weakness or need.
The image of rising on eagle’s wings closely echoes Isaiah 40, where those who hope in the Lord receive renewed strength. The lyrics also portray God as defender and comforter of vulnerable people, linking praise with his care for those in distress. Repetition of the title reinforces the song’s main confession: God remains dependable beyond changing circumstances. The result is a concise expression of endurance, comfort, and confidence rooted in God’s lasting character.
