Please Lord, Wait For Me

please Lord, wait for me i know i am not ready for Your face i would like to see i am in no way steady as i need only You to be free remember Saviour when she anointed You as she was dreary for she knew her salvation You’d be i see that same hope in You verily but please Lord do wait for me unstoppably she wept nothing could stop her sobs but still persistently she kept anointing You with expensive drops of a scent that expressed that she’s crept for years in pain with teardrops she could hardly crawl or limp except when You’d give her strength for little hops to get her by as she’d perhaps dreamt Lord wait i beg for with hope my heart throbs tears of praise rolled down her face did she mind that all eyes were on her? eyes that unlike hers failed to see Your Grace? her valuable tears washed as she dried with her hair Your feet which she then with a kiss did embrace You gave her hope in a world abruptly unfair in her was seen faith for which the world did long graze Lord with her that unwavering faith I’d like to share please Saviour take me with to that Heavenly place i want to go to Your home to cast away every care but how i ask do i joy in the Lord of salvation? when my acts exceed the most abominable? my hair is too short to show the compassion that she showed for I’ve guilt unpardonable of tears I’ve run out because every situation and challenge I’ve failed did my heart disable they have hardened me and now i lack sensation with no savings to purchase i am unable to afford that costly alabaster box of great distinction Lord have you got time that’s ample? Jesus, i implore thee with all my heart for Time isn’t on my side Lord lowly and meek save a helpless one like me who’s had it hard please give me more time to go and seek for more time to save up and run to the mart more time please for my hair to grow sleek to collect your precious alabaster box wherever it art more time to call back tears to run down my cheeks, to streak so Lord please take your precious time from Heaven to depart so you can take me with to Your home where nothing seems bleak
