Patience My Dear

Patience, my dear 

No need for such hurry

Patience, my dear 

Why all of this worry

Patience, my dear 

Don't fret, and don't fear

Patience, my dear 

For your answer's quite near

Patience, my dear

There is reason and rhyme

Patience, my dear

All in God's perfect time

Patience, my dear 

Don't act in great haste

Patience, my dear 

All good things must be paced

Patience, my dear 

For His way will be clear

If we stop in our rushing

To lend Him an ear

For if waiting on God's 

Doing nothing at all

Then we've missed our reliance

On Him, so we fall

And the devil himself 

Uses haste as a snare

So it seems like we're going 

Yet, going nowhere 

At least nowhere good

No place we want to be 

All because of decisions 

We made hastily

So, patience, my dear

For, if God says to wait

You'll arrive right on time

For the Lord's never late

For patience shows trust

If He says to delay

Then you know you can trust

Better things on the way

So, patience, my dear

And give praise while you wait

Your reward for your patience 

Is through pearly gate

Psalm 130:5

" I wait for the Lord, my soul waits, and in his word I hope"

Psalm 27:14, 37:7, 62:5

Isaiah 40:31

Lamentations 3:25
