Faith's Silent Wait
by Bose V © 2024In shadows deep, with faith profound, we wait,
Through trials fierce, our hearts anticipate,
Like Rahab bold, with crimson thread in hand,
We trust in God's design, His perfect plan.
In quiet moments, we find our strength,
As Jael, with tent peg, faced foes at length,
In patience, like Dorcas, stitching love,
We weave our prayers, seeking God above.
With Daniel's courage, lions' roar defied,
We stand unshaken, in God's truth abide,
As Esther dared to step into the light,
We too embrace our call, our guiding sight.
Like Gideon, with a humble heart, we rise,
In God's great power, our foes we'll surmise,
With Mary's pondering, we wait and see,
God's vision unfolds, His victory decree.
So in the waiting, let faith take its flight,
For in God's timing, all will be made right,
With steadfast hope, we press on in this race,
Till God's triumphant glory we embrace.
Just as He grants forgiveness with no delay,
In patient faith, we trust His sovereign way,
Though questions rise and doubts may cloud our sight,
We rest assured, His timing brings forth light.
