The Pursuit of Patience

The Pursuit of Patience

 

O how little am I,

Yet He answers my prayers.

Though troubles arise,

I know He cares.

 

Let me be silent

Before His Holiness.

May I follow the quest,

The pursuit of patience.

 

Yes, may I learn to be still

When adversities come.

Let me do His will

In all that is done.

 

For there are times

When I want things to happen,

And the answers seem far and wide…

Lead me in the pursuit of patience.

 

When times are tough,

I shall remember a truth…

My Lord has patience with me and fills me up

With faith renewed.

 

O how great He is!
He has set the path to His guidance.

With my hand in His,

I’m grateful for the pursuit of patience.
