July.26.04: Light for the Day - "Sometimes"

-- Psalms 62:5
"Find rest, O my soul,
in God alone; my hope comes from Him."

--------------------
"Sometimes"

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 you 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 to 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 Child, and do not grow 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!"
