May.20.05: Lftd - "Sometimes"

-- Jeremiah 29:11-13
11 For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, 
"plans to prosper you and not to harm you, 
plans to give you hope and a future.
12 Then you will call upon Me and come and pray to Me, 
and I will listen to you.
13 You will seek Me and find Me when you seek Me with all your heart.

-------------------

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 ....
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!"
