Waiting

Oh when shall You come, To take away the strife, Of everyday life, Which causes great despair, We are awaiting for You to come, But it has been so long! How long shall we wait! Our enemies forsake us! We are moaning in sorrow! We need our Savior to come back! For without Him, ALL is lost, For without Him, there is great despair. - Inspired by Psalm 6 Psalm 6 NIV O Lord, do not rebuke me in your anger, or discipline me in your wrath. Be merciful to me, Lord, for I am faint. O Lord, heal me, for my bones are in agony. My soul is in anguish. How long, O Lord, how long? Turn, O Lord, and deliver me; save me because of your unfailing love. No on can remember you when he is dead. Who praises you in the grave? I am worn out from groaning; All night long I flood my bed with weeping and drench my couch with tears. My eyes grow weak with sorrow; they fail because of all my foes. Away from me, all you who do evil, for the Lord has heard my weeping. The Lord has heard my cry for mercy; the Lord accepts my prayer. All my enemies will be ashamed and dismayed; they will turn back in sudden disgrace.

that is amazing, And since I'm going away to prepare a place for you, I'll come back again and welcome you into my presence, so that you may be where I am. John 14; 3 Amen
