There’s a virtue in our waiting
When in God’s timing we do trust,
Since it will bring forth His perfect will
When it becomes a must.
It’s easy to be allured
By stunning appearances and vanity,
But unless there’s character through experience
Much heartache we may see.
There’s patience in our waiting
When it’s for God’s ministry,
Where self-control and long-suffering
In our soul has learnt to be.
It’s best to pray for His perfect will
Since true blessings will take place,
Because although there’s His permissive will
Consequences will be faced.
There’s a beauty in our waiting
With an anticipation as well,
Wondering how and what He will provide
And much hope and peace this spells.
At times He will minister
Through dreams and visions too,
And stamping it upon our heart
When it’s His will we need to do.
It’s not too late, it never is
And it’s not premature too,
When we wait for God’s promises
Which are steadfast and are true.
And when this hope deferred brings fruit
It’s like a refreshing spring,
Giving God all the glory
Along with the blessings it does bring.
