Learning To wait

Your prayers seem to go unanswered?
evidence of God’s working is scarce
you and fellow – belivers languish
while the Godless appers to flourish

then sometime we ask our self when we are in doubt
“is this God’s cruel joke?
or could there be a divine reason behind our sens of abandom ment?

or

we to learning to wait and patient.

Desperately, helplessly, longingly
I Cried :

Waiting for the answer

I pled and wept for a clue to my fate

“God, I need the answers, I need to know why! is your hand shortened?
or have you not heard?

by faith I have asked and am claming your word

“My future and all to which I can relate hangs in the balance and you tell me to wait?

I’m needing a “Yes” a go head sign or even a “No” to which I can resign.
“And God you promised that if we believe we need but to ask and we shall receive,

God I have been asking and this is my cry :

I’m weary of asking and I need reply!”

Learning to wait

I Could give you sign,

I could shake the heaven and draken the sun,
I could raise the idea and cause the mountain to ruin
all you asked me I could give and pleased you would be,
you would have what you want but, you wouldn’t know me,

you wouldn’t know the depth of my love for each saint
you would not know the power that I give to the faint
You would not learn to see through the clouds of despair
You would not learn to trust just by knowing I’m there
You would not know the joy of resting in me
when darkness and silence were all you can see

You would never experience that fullness of love as the peace of my spirit descends like a dove
You would know that I live and save…(for start)
but you would not know the depth of the beat of my heart

The glow of my comfort late into the night
the faith that i give when you walj with out sight
the depth that’s beyond getting just
what you asked of an infinite God
who make what you have last

You would never know should your pain quickly flee
what it means that my grace is sufficient for thee
“Yes your dreams for your loved
one over night would come true
but Oh the loss! if I lost what
I’m doing in you!

so be silent…and in time,you will see greatest of gifts is to get to know me and through oft may my answers seem terribly late my most precious answer of all is still “Wait” when it’s the time….it will come!
