Wait

I’d hoped to wake up in Your arms
In our love’s tender, sweet embrace;
But I’ll take this day as it comes,
Use each moment to seek Your face.
This is no time to doubt Your Word.
I won’t question Your silence now.
I’ll trust what You’ve already said;
Knowing that You can’t break Your vow.
I’ve stopped wondering where You are.
Still miss Your presence by my side;
But I’ll rest in this: You’re not far-
Our hearts are just too closely tied.

You’re silent, but the tension speaks;
Inside, I sense what You don’t say
And though it hurts, this hide-and-seek
Is harder on You anyway:
You mask Yourself in sunlight to caress my cheek
You hide behind a soothing breeze just to ruffle my hair
You disguise Yourself in moonlight and watch me sleep
But whatever form You take, I know You’re always there.

So, hide Your face; but I won’t leave
I’ll still call on You night and day
I’ve quit covering up with fig leaves
I’m stripped before You; unashamed.
Come let’s reason- You said it first
And You’re the One who hates divorce;
So don’t let it go unaddressed
If some action of mine’s the cause.

I’m not quite sure what I must do
To get things back the way they were;
Besides, what if this is all You
Moulding me the way You prefer?
What if this season; this dry spell
Is part of Your sovereign design;
And what I learn; if I learn well
Will make me much more God-inclined?
So I’ll trust, hope, love and obey
I’ll seek You with all of my soul.
I’ll wait for You; so have Your way:
Whatever Your will, You’re in control.
I don’t have answers- just my faith
That I’m Yours; and You hold me dear
So I know You’ll flood in again
We’ve come too far to conclude here.
