Waiting

This is the only time we get to choose God
In the waiting
This is the only time we get to demonstrate our love for Him
In the waiting

Do we know the way it moves Him?
When we’re weary from the journey
When we still keep coming after Him
Day after day after day

When we come before Him
When we have no elegant words to say
When all we can do is pray
It is Ok to come to Him in weakness

God, could it be that in this place
This is right where You want us to be
Do You wait for all of our strength to go away?
Do You wait till it falls completely away?

You wait until we come to this place
You wait and You say
“Now I have you right where I want you - in utter dependence on Me”
Now life begins
Now life begins because then we are with You and You alone

I will press on
I shall yet Praise You
This is the place where I want to be.
This is where I am no longer looking to my own strength
This is not the place of failure, that I had done something wrong
I shall yet press on
I shall yet praise You

Blessed are the poor in spirit
Blessed are those who mourn
Happy are those who hide in the Secret Place

If we want to find Your Kingdom – this is the way
Waiting here, hidden in You
Just as the deer pants for the water
So pants my soul for You oh God
This is the path You have chosen
I will keep pressing on

“To walk in the cool of the day with You
To gaze on the beauty of all You do
To meditate on Your Glorious Splendour
I was made for You”
