Why Does God Delay?

When His timing is right
He will answer, dear saint
So wait, on the LORD
Yield to Him, no complaint!

Yes, our new heavenly home
All so perfect, and pure
Our eternal abode
And forever secure.

In Jesus’ suffering, God’s path
To bless fallen man
In His cross, our daily dying
God has shown us, His plan.

‘In Me, you have peace’
Spoke Jesus, God’s Son
‘In the world, tribulation
Be courageous… I’ve overcome’.

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

As His sacrifice, living
Must be holy, and pure
For we dare not present
If defiled, and impure.

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

How great is our God
Our triumphant King
Let all heaven shout
His praises loud sing.

For what are you grasping
And groping in life
Is it riches and comfort
Success, without strife?

So be not downcast
Our heavenly Father above
Ever faithfully outpours
His unchanging love.
