Me:
Waiting, waiting, waiting is like watching paint dry
It’s taking much too long causing me to sigh
I am perfecting patience-will it never end?
Believing in my heart, by faith I must contend

Lord:
It would not be faith if you could see the answer now
Reach out and grab the promise that you know is there somehow
Then believe it’s forming, even though you cannot see
Hope is there to help you wait with expectancy

Thank Me for the answer before you see it with your eye
Declare My Word out loud and watch it multiply
Faith is made complete by the actions that you do
Perseverance is complete when your hope comes into view
