Waiting For You

Like the ticking of the clock and the anticipation of the next tock,
My soul eagerly waits for you.
Waiting for the hope and restoration you will bring with time,
Hoping for the that day when at last I will be with you for all time.

But then my heart worries in between each tick.
I wonder if I’ll get it right, so before your throne I sit.
David said, tears were his comfort both day and night,
I understand because depression stays trying to pick a fight.

During these times I am not even sure what to say,
Or what to do, where to go or even what to pray.
These dry spells shouldn’t occur because you are the spring of life,
And you reside in me, so therefore you are my life.

Abba, help me to rest in the den of your everlasting arms.
For my feet are tired, my mind is exhausted and my heart is torn.
Lord, help to remember you are always with me no matter how great the storm.
So... until the clouds clear, releasing the the sun from their tyranny,
Until the winds relent and the thunder desist from it's soliloquy,

I will be waiting for you, for I know you will answer me.
