I. Baltzell • English

Verse 1

Saviour, at the cross I’m waiting, All to leave and follow Thee; Wretched, poor, despised, forsaken, Waiting, Lord, Thy sympathy.

Chorus

I am waiting, I am waiting, I am waiting at the cross to be saved; I am waiting, I am waiting, I am waiting at the cross to be saved.

Verse 2

All my earthly fame and treasure I surrender now to Thee; Let Thy mercy, let Thy pleasure Speak the word, and I am free.

Chorus

I am waiting, I am waiting, I am waiting at the cross to be saved; I am waiting, I am waiting, I am waiting at the cross to be saved.

Verse 3

Precious Saviour, smile upon me, God of wisdom, love, and might; Take my heart, in pity own me, Show Thy face, and all is bright.

Chorus

I am waiting, I am waiting, I am waiting at the cross to be saved; I am waiting, I am waiting, I am waiting at the cross to be saved.

Verse 4

Jesus comes! O glory, glory! Now I feel the blood applied; Tell to all the old, old story, He who trusts is sanctified.

Chorus

I am waiting, I am waiting, I am waiting at the cross to be saved; I am waiting, I am waiting, I am waiting at the cross to be saved.
