Wait 
-----
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 continue to say I must wait.
