Be patient waiting on God Archives - Page 12 of 15

Taught by Trials

Therefore, welcome your trials
Your waiting, and suffering
Since God is perfecting
Become His fragrant offering.

In God’s Vine, keep abiding
As His branch, bearing fruit
Stay dependent, keep praying
Christ-likeness, your pursuit.

In scripture and song
In prayer, listen too
Expect to meet God
He is waiting for you.

Seek but the Lord
Not for what He can do
But simply enjoy Him
Alone, He and you.

Does God have a purpose
In suffering and pain
Sorrow and sickness
Can He turn to gain?

So, draw near to God
Repentant and yearning
Hungering and thirsting
Worshiping, and learning.

But God is the LORD
So be patient and wait
He will answer on time
He’s not early, nor late.

The LORD gives, and He takes
He rules, as He will
He is sovereign, all powerful
So be quiet, and still.

Our Master Craftsman ceases not
With skillful hands of love
To weave our lives, to that of Christ
Sat glorified above.

By His stripes, we are healed
Jesus’ death, on the Cross
Now delivered from judgment
He paid the full cost.
