My Lord, Is This Your Will?

Sometimes I ask the question,
"My Lord, is this your will?"

It's then I hear you answer me,

"My Precious Child... Be still."

Sometimes I feel frustrated,
cause I think I know what's best.
It's then I hear you say to me,
"My Busy Child... Just rest."

Sometimes I feel so lonely,

and I think I'd like a mate.

Your whispering voice gets oh so clear

and says, "My Child...Please wait."

"I know the plans I have for you,

the wondrous things you'll see;

If you can just be patient, Child,

and put your trust in me.

I've plans to draw you closer.

I've plans to help you grow.
There's much I do you cannot see,
and much you do not know.

But know this, child...I LOVE YOU,

You are Precious unto Me.

Before I formed you in the womb,

I planned your destiny.

I've something very special

I hope for you to learn.

The gifts I wish to give to you

are gifts you cannot earn.

They come without a price tag,
but not without a cost;
at Calvary, I gave My Son,
so You would not be lost.

Rest Child, and do not weary

while doing what is good.

I promise I'll come back for you,

just like I said I would.

Your name is written in my palm,

I never could forget;

Therefore, do not be discouraged,

when my answer is... "Not Yet"
