Humble heart cries Archives - A Doctor's Cure for the Soul

Wait upon The Lord

So, in place of self-searching
And following our feelings
Rather obey the LORD
Be wise, wait upon His leading.

“Now the just shall live by faith
But if anyone draws back,
My soul has no pleasure in him.”
So, seek much faith, do not lack.

Know God answers our prayer
By His rules, not mine
So, be willing to wait on Him
His terms and schedule, divine.

Fully trusting God’s promises
With obedience to His word
Being steadfastness in prayer
By circumstances, undeterred.

When my heart, is overwhelmed
Lead me, to the rock
That is higher than I
My shelter… You unlock.

But washed clean, before we offer
As in the Tabernacle, with laver
Now Jesus’ blood, still sanctifies
So, our heart and offerings, find favor.

Like the Psalmist of old
We cry out, poor and needy
Do preserve us, O God
Save your servants, our entreaty.

So little energy and time
Few invest in prayer
’Tis no great surprise
God’s blessings aren’t there.

Wait on the Lord
For His timing, not mine
And trust Him, whatever
For His hour, divine.

While waiting, grow strong
Learn to lean on the LORD
Grow in faith, endurance
See blessings, then poured.
