WAIT

Desperately, helplessly, longingly I cried,

Quietly, patiently, lovingly He replied.

I pleaded and I wept for a clue to my fate,

And the Master so gently said, "Child, you must wait."

"Wait! You say wait!" my indignant reply,

"Lord, I need answers - I need to know why.

Is your hand shortened, or have you not heard?

By faith I have asked, and I'm claiming Your Word.

My future and all to which I can relate

Hangs in the balance, and You tell me 'wait'?

I'm needing a 'yes' - a go ahead sign,

Or at least a 'no' to which I can resign.

And Lord, I've been asking, and this is my cry,

I'm weary of asking, I need a reply."

Then quietly, softly, I learned of my fate,

As my Master replied, once again, "You must wait."

So I slumped in my chair, defeated and taut,

And I grumbled to God - "So I'm waiting, for what?"

He seemed then to kneel, and His eyes met with mine,

And He tenderly said, "I could give you a sign.

I could shake the heavens, darken the sun,

Raise up the dead, cause the mountains to run.

All you seek I could give, and pleased you would be,

You would have what you want, but you wouldn't know me.

You'd not know the depth of my love for each saint,

You'd not know the power that I give to the faint.

You'd not learn to see through clouds of despair,

You'd not learn to trust just by knowing I'm there.

You'd not know the joy of resting in Me,

When darkness and silence was all you could see.

You'd never experience that fullness of love,

As the peace of my Spirit descends like a dove.

You would know that I give and save for a start,

But you'd not know the depth of the beat of My heart.

The glow of My comfort, late in the night,

The faith that I give when you walk without sight.

The depth that's beyond getting just what you ask,

Of an infinite God that makes what you have last.

And you never would know, should your pain quickly flee,

What it means that, "My grace is sufficient for thee."

Yes, your dreams for that loved one o're night would come true,

But, oh, the loss, if you lost what I'm doing for you.

So be silent, My child, and in time you will see,

That the greatest of gifts is to get to know Me.

And though oft may That My most precious answer of all is

still ' wait '.
