Wait

Wait



If but one message I may leave behind ,

One single word of courage for my kind ,

It would be this ,Oh , brother , sister , friend ,

Whatever life may bring , what God may send ,

No matter whether clouds lift soon or late ,

Take heed and wait .



Despair may tangle darkly at your feet ,

Your faith be dimmed , and hope , once cool and sweet ,

Be lost , but suddenly above a hill ,

A heavenly lamp, set on a heavenly sill,

Will shine for you and point the way to go,

How well I know .





For I have waited through the dark , and I

Have seen a star rise in the darkest sky

Repeated – It has not failed me yet

And I have learned God never will forget

To light his lamp . If we but wait for it ,

It will be lit
