Sometimes I ask the question,
"My Lord, is this Your will?"
It's then I hear You answer me,
"My precious child ... be still."

Sometimes I feel frustrated,
'cause I think I know what's best.
It's then I hear You say to me,
"My busy child ... just rest."

Sometimes I feel so lonely,
and I think I'd like a mate.
Your still small voice gets oh so clear
and says, "My child ... please wait."

"I know the plans I have for you,
the wondrous things you'll see;
If you can just be patient, child ~
and put your trust in Me.

"I've plans to draw your closer.
I've plans to help you grow.
There's much I do you cannot see
and much you do not know.

"But know this, child ... I LOVE YOU!
You are precious unto Me.
Before I formed you in the womb,
I planned your destiny.

"I've something very special
I hope for you to learn.
The gifts I wish to give you
are gifts you cannot earn.

They come without a price tag,
but not without a cost;
At Calvary, I gave My Son,
so you would not be lost.

Rest My child, and do not weary
of doing what is good.
I promise I'll come back for you
just like I said I would.

"Your name is written on my palm,
I never could forget;
Therefore, do not be discouraged when
My answer is ...
"Not Yet"
