Father, I see what You have given
and while thankful I am, still I long to know
this deeper sacrifice, this secret to living
amidst this world that is not to be our home.
Father, again You cast the vision
and while I see, still I long to know
this dream you’ve given, all in Your wisdom
as You say to await the appointed time to go.
Father, again You say to rest in Your presence
and while I know how, I still look around
at what I can be, and of what I can do
instead of heeding Your spirit when it leads me out.
This is the tension between
the here and now and the there and then.
I can be stretched to the brink
unless I lie down and let You win.
It’s not a fight for my life but one
to not give in, to less than what
You have proclaimed and all that lies within.
So while I wait, may I trust
that You know and You mend.
Let me hold on tight to Your might,
Your strength, and Your hand,
and find the peace that resides
when I believe and let You be
my Master
and my Friend.
