on waiting

I'm in this waiting place
An idea thought of by God
Breathing the stale air of man
Each day a discovery of new joy, new hope
Forgotten past pain yet felt
Learning to be satisfied with the unseen
Seeking the unfelt
The heart cries from depths undiscovered
Only known by the earthquake of pain
Will the tremors cease, will the end be found
I'm here on earth seeking a God I've never seen
Believing in promises not yet breathed
Holding onto dreams not yet uttered
The battle is being fought, the war already decided
The would heal, scars fase, stories disappear with time
"I won't give up" I shout with courage
yet I find my heart shaking in fear
I show the world the strength in my stance
The hope in my eyes, the joy in my heart
Is it the true me that's exposed, the me that cries for help
The me that asks will I ever be the one
Days and nights fade away
The future, just a glimmer as far as the eye can see
The strength in my stance
Nothing more than learning not to fall
The hope in my eyes
Nothing more than light catching last night's tears
The joy in my heart
The only strength I have left
So here I am in the waiting place
An idea thought of by God
nothing more to do but wait
hope and hold on

I waited patiently for the Lord; he turned to me and heard my cry (Psalm 40:1)
