TennayaLayoutsI have learned to live by this poem...
Desperately, helplessly, longingly, I cried:
Quietly, patienlty, lovingly, God replied.
I pled and I wept for a clue to my fate...
and the Master so gently said, "Wait"
"Wait? you say wait?" my indignant reply.
"Lord I need answers, I need to know why!"
Is you hand shortened? Or have you not heard?
By faith I have asked, and I'm claiming you Word.
My future and all to which I relate hangs in the balance,
and you tell me to Wait?
I'm needing a "yes" a go-ahead sign.
Or even a "no". to which I'll resign.
You promised, dear Lord, that if we believe,
We need but to ask, and we shall receive.
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 again "Wait."
So I slumped in my chair, defeated and taut, and grumbled to God,
"So Im 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 and darken the sun.
I could raise the dead and cause mountains to fun.
I could give all you seek and pleased you would be.
You'd 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 k now 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 Im there
You'd not know the joy of resting in Me
when darkness and silence are all you can see
You'd never experience the fullness of love
when the peace of My spirit descends like a dove
You would know t hat I give and I save, for a start,
But you'd not the 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 walk without sightt.
The depth that's beyond getting just what u ask
From an infinite God who makes what u have last.
You'd never know should your pain quickly flee,
what it means that My grace is suffient for thee.
Yes, your dearest dreams overnight would come true,
but, oh, the loss, if you missed what I'm doing in you.
So, be silent, my child, and in time you will see
that the greatest of gifts is to truly know Me.
And though oft my amswers seem terribly late,
My most precious answer of all is still.....
Wait.
