Wait

The Bible says I am a new creation.
That His love and goodness is a many splendored thing
That I was created to display His splendor.
But I feel used and ugly. I feel old and tired.
And God says wait.
I yearn to go, to break free, to run until something changes.
He says, "Wait."
"Wait child, I will meet you there."
I want to prove to the world that I am new and full of life.
I want to run fast and proclaim his glory.
He says if you don't wait for me you, run alone.
You will feel used and broken all over again
when you fail at anything.
But if i run with you, if you wait and we run together.
They will see I am full of you.
They will see that we run together.
They will see that my love is a many splendored thing.
You are so interested in running, you end up running alone.
You are so interested in going, you won't hear me when I say stay.
When they ask who you are going with will you stop, and wait, and listen.
Will you be sure we go together?
Or would you rather go alone and fast and be running?
When I say wait on me.
I mean it.
I am the Lord, your God.
I am your great hiding place.
I am your strength.
