Wait patiently for the Lord (Psalm 27:14; NLT).

1. Here I am, Lord,
Waiting
In silence,
For your voice.

2. Here I am, Lord,
Waiting
In stillness,
Till you stir.

3. Here I am, Lord,
Waiting
All alone,
For your embrace.

Waiting
In the dark,
To see your face.

  • Waiting is the hardest part of prayer, and particularly for the young generation used to instant stuff. Waiting is a work of grace for sure. God bless you Ruth.

    • In a sense, my whole life is about waiting, until I see God. Your words instantly inspired a little prayer, which I’m working on right now! Thank you XXXX
