Waiting on You

Waiting, waiting, waiting...
Waiting on everything and everyone.
Seems like we all do an awful lot of waiting.

Our Heavenly Father waits too.

He waits on me...
He waits on you...

Oh, I don't mean like a
waiter waits... but, you know,
just waiting. Like we do.
He says...

"When will she call?
When will he come?
Ah, there she is!!!
... but... no...
she got busy, changed her mind.
Oh, but look!
what is he doing?
Ah, no... not yet..."

"I shall wait."

"Why shall I wait?"

"Because I love you."

A Poem of New Beginnings

by Jocelyne Sade

Letting pride,
Be crucified,
Humbly,
On bended knee,
Seek Him thoroughly,
His face to see.

Willful heart - when won,
Easier said - Thy will be done!
He in you is then created,
Carnal, for Spirit, is traded.
Let this be your goal -
All His, body, spirit and soul.

Behold, God sees
You on your knees.
Be simple, yes be true,
Be sure, He hears you.

He’ll spin you ‘round,
On His ground,
No game to play.
You, now but clay
For Him to mold
True and bold.

Trust your God
To strip the fraud.
To set you free,
Give integrity.
No more playing saint,
Foolish pharisaical paint!
Even words well spoken,
Can be worthless tokens.

Go ahead… sigh,
Your God is nigh.
He, resplendent,
You, repentant
Yet, now confident
At last, an honest heart!
Truth in the inward part!

“Behold, You desire truth in the inward parts,
And in the hidden part, You will make me to know wisdom.”
Psalm 51:6
