Patient Wait

God patient sits and waits for me to call,
or lies down next to me while I’m asleep,
or waits beside me patient standing tall,
for our appointment I put off to keep.

Outside of time, God needs no time to stay,
outside of space, He needs no place to stand,
God knows before what I am going to pray,
I know before what He means to command.

God doesn’t have to hang around and wait,
He’s busy with a million souls like me,
He’s there whenever I reciprocate,
with time to burn, He has eternity.

Your ways, O Lord, are not my ways, it’s true,
should I not be the one who waits on You?
