Waiting

To wait, is not an easy task for all
Within our frantic-paced society
Where boredom chills the mind and faces fall
For patience is a lost commodity.

But God has said that we should wait for Him
To sit in patient stillness at His feet
But answers to our prayers are seeming dim
And cause a false appearance of defeat.

His Word of Patience is for us to keep
When we will wait ON Him and know His peace
To wait FOR Him, to watch and not to sleep
And never let our love for Him to cease.

Waiting for Him the Day Star from on high
While watching, as that Day draws ever near
Only engage direction of the eye
Fully on Him, who would our hearts hold dear.
