Psalm 27:14 Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord.
When the moon is riding the ebony skies,
Hallucinating stardust, laughing like the distance
Isn’t echoed by the nearness of star’s twinkling,
Shimmering in the night as if there is only the promise,
Promise of dawn soothing away the fears, the tears
Leaving dew trails along the oaks and pines,
Stiffening in the wind like yesterday’s blooms –
Reasonable, yet evoking music in cloudless whispers,
Silence bleeding into the histories of hearts who hear Him
In every reflection, each twilight and each dawn…
Wait, waiting, waiting… where He is, that is the place
Where my heart sees a promise blowing like prayers, up to heaven,
Flowing in rhythms of hopes and dreams, melodies blazing
Furious to see through the trees, the answers in collections so brave,
Memories, soundless as breathing through the hesitancy
Flavors of life teaching me to swim, let go of the past – all its worries,
Find the courage to reach beyond yesterday into the promise of light
Falling faithfully within reach, where every golden shadow
Breaks away pieces of the night, caressing the moments with peace,
Evoking a feeling, believing… believing…
Waiting, always waiting… He will come to me when I let life alone,
Silence the demons that scream at me and listen to the still, small voice,
With faith that comes from Him, grace that will finally win –
As my heart rests in the knowledge that His love, His light, His lesson
Is truth blazing beyond the fires, fleeing the dread and restoring
Every thought with knowing, overjoyed… knowing that when I wait
I have the chance to pray and praise, pray and praise, pray and praise…
Wait on the Lord – have faith and keep believing,
When the time comes, it is love that comes from above
The wonder that your heart and soul will be receiving,
The music that His peace on earth will be creating,
The strength that comes from knowing, for sure, He is alive
There in the skies… offering us a place of rest and an amazing…
Suggestion of what is best when we look to Him – to be blessed,
So blessed by the love that comes with salvation!
Listen to Him, waiting, patient to finally see the beautiful
That is His grace raining down on the souls who can see –
Jesus in every tear, each dream, everywhere – He is risen
And He is the reason I can share my belief that, through Him,
There is unending joy, the sweetest peace, a love that is eternal!
Wait on the Lord and discover the meaning of believing,
There is joy beyond comprehending, joy beyond understanding,
Joy that will forever bring souls a reason for awaiting His return,
The return that will change each soul, the entire world…
Into the guarantee of joy that He came to prepare our hearts for!
