Don't rush up things
After you prayed,
Wait on the Lord.
What the heck's the matter with you mate,
And why are you on the interstate?
I'm growing increasingly irate.
That's why your driving I will berate,
If you don't quickly increase your rate.
Next, I'll pull all the hair out of my pate.
God forbid that I should have to wait.
I will wait on you till the sun sets upon the earth, and day gives way to night.
I will wait patiently, to guide your steps out of the dimmest of light.
When dawn breaks, and the sun rises again, I will look for you once again.
I will stay with you, both night and day, and I promise never to allow you to loose your way.
I declare I am your refuge, I am your quiet space.
I am the love you deserve and dreamed about, the one your souls seeks out.
I am, the “her” that is here to stay, the “her” that just doesn’t walk away.
I will wait on you, till day gives way to the night, and the sky turns blue.
I will always be here, waiting on my turn to love you.
Wait on God,
And he will be to you a God.
But if you away to him nod,
Then to you will he be a rod.
To scold and press flaws,
Out of thy worldy draws.

As my day slowly comes to an end
When it seems my strength is gone
As the hours seem to pass by slowly
When all I try just seems so wrong
Within my heart I seek inspiring words
A psalm that will lift my spirit high
For so often when I feel this tired
Even on my bed I have no desire to lie
I reach within my soul for divine energy
I seek with my inner voice to deeply pray
Finding I have such a great need of You
For Your soothing spirit to come my way
And as I pray silently and so sweetly
While I also gently embrace Your name
I find I shall always wait on You Lord
Knowing my happiness I will again regain
For You are the great power which saves me
The blessed assurance my heart only knows
And happily Lord I will always wait on You
Because with all my heart I love You so.
Minutes seem long as hours, hours as ages,
Await meeting beloved,
Needles of the clock freeze !
Eyes stare at rendezvous, unending wait ,
Sudden adrenaline gush,
Heart pounces, blush on face !

I call for it
Know
Love
Lord
The face in the moon
looked over her shoulder
and whispered just to you
why don’t you smell the clover
you worry too much
about what may never be
don’t wait on sunshine
celebrate raindrops in the rain
you never know
when the rain
will come again
Sieze the day
run as fast as you can
fly with the wind
hold the hand
of the one you want to love you
what will be will be
don’t wait on sunshine
go run in the rain
you never know
when the rain
will come again
You look to the stars
to fill all of your dreams
but you have so much
love is everything
you are the owner of
your dreams
don’t wait on sunshine
savour the gift that comes with just now
you never know
when the rain
will come again
Your family and friends
live to see you smile
but you are never happy
with your own reflection
you have everything
your dream is to reach tomorrow
don’t wait on sunshine
look for the rainbow within the rain
you never know
when the rain
will come again

IRISH
we think that we are in control
of our own destiny
we seem incapable of conceding
to God's authority
we want what we want
and we want it yesterday
we are to impatient to let God
have His way
we say that we are of the faith
but on the Lord we can't seem to wait
we have to learn to trust in God
and let him rule in our life
we have to learn to let go
and give control to Jesus Christ
we fail to understand that there is
not much that we can change
we fail to remember that God is the Creator
and all you see He arranged
we need to just believe
and just keep the faith
we need to be true disciple of God
and on Him learn to wait
