Lyrics

On a South Carolina road
Over 100 acres and the stories untold
If that soil could speak
Of all the joy, Pain and loss it's seen
From the riverbed to the church yard
Tom toiled those acres hard
Working night and day with his two hands
He was building more than houses on that land
Waiting on the Lawd
Waiting on the Lawd
Waiting on the Lawd to show the way
    
Now what Sydney James used those acres for
Was her Sanctuary, pharmacy and grocery store
Working night and day with her two hands
She was sowing a legacy on that land
She was blessed and highly favored
One hundred five long years stubborn, willing and able
She took her rest from that land
Singing Precious Lord please take my hand
Waiting on the Lawd
Waiting on the Lawd
Waiting on the Lawd to show the way
Waiting on the Lawd
Waiting on the Lawd
Waiting on the Lawd to show the way
The children have grown and moved away (hey ooo)
Each one wary of those that take and take (hey ooo)
Some walk by sight some walk by faith (hey ooo)
Some fight to forgive, some give a little grace
When it's home that they miss (that they miss)
They taste the bitter sweet soil on their lips
They're all doing the best that they can
To keep building the legacy on that land
Waiting on the Lawd
Waiting on the Lawd
Waiting on the Lawd to show the way
Waiting on the Lawd
Waiting on the Lawd
Waiting on the Lawd to show the way
Waiting on the Lawd to show the way
