Wholesome Waiting

orchidee



Tune: Repton

('Dear Lord and Father of mankind')

Psalm 62 v.5-8

********

My soul, wait you on God only

For He your help shall be

From Him is my expectation

He Lord, ruler o'er each nation

Of men of each station

Of men of each station

 

He only is my rock and my

Salvation, He is nigh

He is my defence, I shall not

Be moved or shaken, firm my lot

He has me not forgot

He has me not forgot

 

In God true is my salvation

And so unto each one

Who does upon Him call, they sahll

Know His presence, and all be well

And they His glories tell

And they His glories tell

 

He the rock of my strength, I stand

Sustained by His good hand* (*Spirit)

He my refuge, trust Him always

You people, pour out heart these days

To Him, so safe your ways

To Him, so safe your ways

    I guess because I have a thing about always being early.. I sometimes struggle when kept waiting.. but and it is a big BUT ... for somethings it is wholly necessary and write....... Nice one too ................... Neville 🙂

      Thanks Neville. On a human level, it's annoying if we've made the effort to be early or on time, and someone else has not, and just breezes in uncaringly with no apology for delays.
      It's a sort of 'waiting in faith' here, or an 'active waiting'. The latter presumably meaning not dozing off or stuff like that, while waiting!
      You waiting for that No.7 bus? Has it arrived yet?!
