Why I 'Wait'. ...

Waiting is easy when you don't know what you're waiting for.
It's simple, because you're easily distracted from what's in store.

When you're young these things don't truly matter to you

It's the plain day to day you're living through

But when age and 'wisdom' come right along

And your heart believes in the promise of a new song
That's when things and thoughts become a little astray
And we find we just want things to be our way

Well... He doesn't play that particular game

It is our wants that will put us to shame

He sees the end, and knows what we need

Firstly, it's our souls we must feed

Then in time, when our 'single' path is complete

He'll send someone our way, our help-meet.
An earthly adoration is given, a glimpse of Him
His Love is our love's root's stem

Things might not be near perfect

But love is the reason that makes it worth it
Battles will be fought and won
And there isn't turning back once begun

So we wait, as we are told we must

Protecting our flesh, even if its made of dust

It is His Temple, and I'll treat it no less

Because with rewards He will bless

It is a struggle, I won't dare lie

But it is His Word I must abide by

It isn't made to be a piece of cake

It's our demons we must break

And desires for the 'what if' oft' get in the way.

But that is a price I am willing to pay.

So I wait, and I know that true to all

Another heart shall hear my call
