As I Wait

"My eyes fail from tears,
My heart is troubled:
My hatefulness is poured on the ground."

My Jesus, I don't understand why you are choosing this path to teach...
Why is it this path that you use to make me call out?
My heart is faint and my eyes grow dim.

"See, O Lord, that I am in distress;
My soul is tormented;
My heart is overturned within me..."

Father God, I do not see how good can come from this wandering.
Who am I, that I come before you to ask you for this...
Lord, I have faith, but my mountain has not budged.

"The Lord is good to those who wait for Him,
To the soul who seeks Him.
it is good that one should hope and wait quietly."

Here I am, God... waiting... hoping.

"The Lord will not cast off forever.
Though he causes grief,
Yes, He will show compassion
According to the multitude of his mercies."
