We wait on the Lord

“But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint.” ~ Isaiah 40:31

“I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.” ~ 2 Timothy 4:7

We wait
His followers
We wait
on the Lord
for relationships mended
for sicknesses healed
for countless prayers answered

We wait
on the Lord
Lifting our eyes
our hands
our voices
our hearts
toward Him
in loving praise and adoration
as tears flow
for what we endure
for what we have lost

and, lest we forget
for what the Lord Jesus
has done for us
now
yesterday
tomorrow
He bore our sins
He endured much pain and suffering
separated from the love of His Father
He died for us all
and after three days in the tomb,
He arose from the dead
for us all

We wait
His followers
We wait
on the Lord
for His return
but if our time on earth ends
before He comes back
We still wait
Our strength and weariness waning
is renewed by Him,

Who walks with us
abides in us

We wait
eager to see Him – the Lord Jesus -
as He greets us with open arms
at Heaven’s gate

We wait
His followers
We wait
to fly like eagles
and run like deer
in a land flowing
with riches untold
We wait
for The Promised Land
We wait
for You
and soon Lord, soon
I pray, we will be there.
