Waiting

 

How blessed was Eve when she opened her eyes,

Her Prince Charming was already by her side,

But some of us have to be patient and wait,

Prince Charming it seems is unfashionably late!

The Father arranged the suitors back then,

And I try to leave it all up to Him,

But Father it's getting tiresome lately,

I have made some suggestions, but I am still here waiting!

I know I got it all wrong before,

Which is why in faith, I surrender it all,

But Father I am getting older each day,

And all of the good ones are getting away!

Some days I believe I must be deficient,

And apologise profusely for not being sufficient,

But I cannot take matters into my own hands,

A boat full of trouble is all that I'll land!

To trust in the waiting is so hard to do,

My hearts deepest desire given over to You,

My Father You created the planets to align,

Surely You can deliver a husband on time!

I trust You Father to know what is best,

Shalom, give me peace, as I wait and rest,

You know my journey, You know me through and through,

I can only devote even the waiting to You.
