Trust In God
Desperately, helplessly, longingly,I cried:
quietly, patiently, lovingly God replied.
I pled 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 am claiming 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-ahead sign,
or even a 'no' to which I can resign.
And , Lord You promised that if we believe
we need but to ask, and we shall receive.
I need a reply!
Then quietly, softly, I learned of my fate.
As my Master repiled once again, "you must wait."
so I slumped in my chair, defeated and taut.
and grumbled to God, "so I'm waiting.... for what?"
He seemed, then to kneel, and His eyes wept 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, 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 be knowing I'm there:
you'd not know joy of resting in Me,
when darkness and silence were all you could see;
You'd never expereience the fullness of love
as the peace of My Spirit descends like a dove;
you'd know that I give and I 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 asked,
of an infinite GOD, who makes what you have LAST.
You'd never know, should your pain quickly flee,
what it means that "My grace is sufficient for thee",
yes..........., you dreams for that loved one overnight
would come true,
but, oh, the loss! if I lost what I am doing in you!!!"
"So, be silent, My Child, and in time you will see
that the grestest of gifts is to get to know ME.
And though may My answers seem terribly late,
my most percious answer of all is still ,
"WAIT"
