At last, the people will look to their Creator
(Isaiah 17:7; NLT).
1. Bear all God sends
Until life ends,
For when we sigh,
He hears our cry.
2. And though each soul
Has missed its goal,
Our heavenly King
Still waits within.
3. So, face the past,
Then say, at last:
Your kingdom come;
Your will be done.
4. God shares our woes;
His mercy flows:
He will forgive;
Then we will live!
