Thursday Lyrics (Friday Edition!)

On the way to drop Wes off at day care this morning, a favorite song of mine was playing on the CD player, "Teach Me Lord To Wait." Wes piped up from the back, "This is a GREAT song, daddy!" At this time in our lives when everything seems to be so rushed (I know Amy is sure ready to have the baby!), this song, based on Isaiah 40:31, is a great reminder that we need to let things happen on God's timetable, and not ours.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Teach me, Lord, to wait down on my knees
'Til in your own good time, you answer my pleas
Teach me not to rely on what others may do
But to wait in prayer for an answer from you

They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength
They shall mount up with wings as eagles
They shall run and not grow weary
They shall walk and not faint
Teach me Lord, teach me Lord to wait

And teach me, Lord to wait while my heart's all aflame
Let me humble my pride and call on your name
Keep my faith renewed, my eyes only on Thee
And let me be on this earth what you want me to be

They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength
They shall mount up with wings as eagles
They shall run and not grow weary
They shall walk and not faint
Teach me Lord, teach me Lord to wait
---------------------------------------------------------------

If you want to hear a terrific performance of this song, it's available on Gold City's "Revival" CD, which I meantioned in an earlier post.
