Waiting

This is an old song, but one that has come to mind recently, so maybe it's time to get it out to the world in this format.

Waiting

Waiting for fruit to ripen,
Waiting for seed to grow...
Sometimes it seems your Kingdom
Comes only in ways that are slow...

     But I don't have to wait to know that you love me
     I don't have to wait to know that you care
     I can seek you each day in the Word you have given
     And come to you in prayer.

Waiting for dawn to brighten
Waiting for bread to rise
Your Kingdom is slow, but certain
Someday I'll see with my eyes

     The things that today are only a promise
     A glimmer of hope I can barely believe
     The things that I know you have promised to give me
     Someday I will receive

     And I don't have to wait to know that you love me
     I don't have to wait to know that you care
     I can seek you each day in the Word you have given
     And come to you in prayer.
