When

When

 

When will my day come?

You promised me that it would,

I‘ve waited here patiently,

Just like you said I should

 

I’m still waiting faithfully,

God, it’s just so hard,

Finding the joy in suffering,

In the end I’m just left scarred

 

I’ve seen your hand so many times,

I feel you everywhere,

Touched so many lives throughout history,

I’m so amazed at how much you care

 

When I’ve had nothing, I’ve had you,

And that was more than enough,

Your grace and mercy always sufficient,

Especially when times are rough

 

But this storm right now is just so violent,

I know I’m human and I still sin,

But thanks be to you, because deliverance is near,

But, God, please tell me, when…..

 

…..Lord, I know my blessing’s near!

But please just tell me…

 

When.
