If I knew that You would act, I would surely pray
Discouragement sets in often-when there is delay
That is when my faith should rise, and in Your Word believe
That is what it takes to ask and from Your hand receive

Nothing is too hard for You that I surely know
Why does the answer to my prayer seem so slow?
Through this time of waiting, I draw close by Your side
It is in Your Presence I learn how to abide.

In this time of waiting, let me hear Your voice
Just to know You love me makes my heart rejoice
I will be obedient to the words I hear
As I humbly wait, I sense You drawing near

Psalm 27:13-14 – “I remain confident of this: I will see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living. 14 Wait for the LORD; be strong and take heart and wait for the LORD.”

Psalm 40:1-4 – “I waited patiently for the LORD; he turned to me and heard my cry. 2 He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand. 3 He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear the LORD and put their trust in him. 4 Blessed is the one who trusts in the LORD, who does not look to the proud, to those who turn aside to false gods.”

Psalm 27, 40
