Listen to poem:
Wait No Longer
At the feet of Jesus, I laid my broken body down
He took my sin, my shame, my sorrow, my pain
And turned them into a crown
Into the hands of Jesus, I placed my life for Him to lead
He took my heart, my soul, my spirit, my all
And sowed in me a new seed
Gentle Jesus, great healer, bright beacon in the dark
Unblemished Lamb of God, Redeemer
Good Shepherd of His flock
Meek and lowly, perfect, Holy, Savior, Son, and King
Loving, living, all-forgiving, those who call on Him
In silent prayer I come, to Him and Him alone
Confessing sinful thought and deed
In truth and honesty, my heart for Him to see
To purify, to sanctify, to hold me
At the side of Jesus, it’s there I never want to leave
And when my days on earth have ended
With Him, I’ll always be
It was the love of Jesus, pure love that bled and died for me
And by His act of love, His cleansing blood
I’m sealed eternally
