Wait With Faith

Lord, you have faithfully shown me

So many times before

And this time is no exception, Lord,

And simply can't be ignored

~

That you know all that concerns my life,

Everything your eyes do see

You always come through at just the right time

To meet my every need

~

For nothing escapes your watchful eye,

No problem that we may cross

But so often, Lord, it seems as though

There's a delay in your response

~

I know it's a testing of our faith

To wait so patiently

You stretch us so our faith may grow,

Though we want it instantly

~

But it's for our good that you respond

In your time, not in ours,

For if you didn't - we'd stay as infants,

Getting everything right now

~

For us to grow more Christ-like,

We need to learn to wait,

For often that's the answer to prayer

And builds us up in faith

~

So I thank you for the answer to come

As I hand it over in prayer

Thank you that you're still working on me

And my breakthrough's drawing near.
