We Wait

Jesus is gone I cannot see him The Spirit comes Spirit mourns for Him The Lord is no longer on earth He is in heaven with His Father Yet I am here on earth The Spirit lives inside me The Spirit calls out Abba The Spirit reminds me of Jesus The Spirit reminds my heart My heart mourns for Jesus The Spirit in stills mourning for Jesus The Spirit helps me understand the Scriptures Spirit helps me interpret the times When will my Lord return? Why is He so long in coming? Must trust in the Father's timing Always trust, always hope The Spirit in stills patience Yet wait in silent mourns I do Abba Father I wait in silence and hope I wait in the Spirit for the Lord to return I wait in the Spirit for Jesus to return We wait in the heat of the day, and cool of the night We wait, we wait We wait, wait, and wait Yet we are not orphans The Lord did not leave us alone He sent the Spirit to live within us We are not alone
