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 till Your anger has passed;
Then I will answer You when You call my name,
When You long for the one Your hands have made

(Chorus)

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
It's torrents wash away the dust of the earth
Only in You will I hope

(Chorus 2x)

I will wait for my change to come
