The Lord must wait for you to come to him
so he can show you his love and compassion
(Isaiah 30:18; NLT).
1. God waits for us
To come to him.
He waits to pardon
All our sin.
2. He waits to bless us
Every day —
And all we need to do
Is pray.
3. God waits to bear
Our pain and fear.
He waits, though he
Is always near.
4. He waits to help
With every task —
And all we need to do
Is ask.
5. God waits to bind
Our wounds, and heal.
He waits to share
In how we feel.
6. He waits, though we
Are only dust —
And all we need to do
is trust.

The Lord longs to be gracious to you
(Isaiah 30:18; NIV).
