On God I am waiting;
Spirit-led risk taking -
sometimes it's prudent not to play it safe-
I am God's student, He shows me to wait.
In God I'm expecting
the fruits of this testing
to be a lesson learned not a minute too late
and blessings from a God who taught me to wait.
In God I am hoping -
the door's slightly opening:
emotions rise
and prick at my eyes
as I look to my God of earth, sea and skies -
the God of abundance and truth and love-
and as I look above
I realise
what it's all meant -
this encouragement-
God gives me a taste
to teach me to wait.
Tides of feelings subside,
let them slip, let them slide...
You're easily deceived
when in these you believe.
So set emotions aside
and when you look behind
you'll see the result of your faith
and why God taught you to wait.
On God I am waiting
whilst the steep climb I'm taking -
the narrowest way - shows me what the point is:
that a hope in God is never disappointed!
So whether God's teaching me patience
or just wants me stationed
here
so I'm near
to the God I revere,
and whether or not I receive
what it is I believe
God wants me to see
that it's Him that I need.
So when I stand on that hilltop, I hope the first thing I say
is, "Thank you Lord that you taught me to wait."
