God slow in coming



Two thousand years now
since Christ’s ascension
God slow in coming
returning to the earth

God slow in coming
yet planting more seed
working to grow the vineyard
more hearts to be won

God slow in coming
waiting for the right time
seeking more souls to be saved
hearts like yours and mine
