WAIT

Lift me up out of my mess
Help me make some sort of progress
I patiently wait as you‘ve taught me to do
But nothing is changing as I wait on you

I was here before and you took my hand
Strengthened me and helped me stand
But this time it’s darker than ever before
My spirit is so down, can’t take anymore

Setting alone I cry in despair
And wonder if you’re really there
My heart of hearts says you are
But my circumstance makes it seem so far

Is there a lesson to learn while I suffer through?
Wisdom to gain, or punishment due?
Do I fight the good fight never seeing the prize?
Or should I be seeing with more than my eyes?

The knowledge of you is burned in my soul
And your word is how I’ll set my goal
But I need some relief from the pain I feel
So show me your face as I make my appeal

Lead me away from the roads that destroy
Help me maintain while I seek your joy
Don’t let me give up when I just want to die
Help me hang on, help me try

I can’t show the world the glory of you
If you leave me to suffer, what will I do?
I can’t be a blessing without being blessed
But I can’t learn a lesson without a test

Help me remember while I struggle to stand
That you are the great I AM
All I need is to keep the faith
And seek your face while I wait
