God waits for us – v3

God does not push us
dragging us into worship
into church;
God does not demand
that we fall down
and praise Him

God is patience
God is patient;
God waits for us
to choose to follow
for when we turn from the world

God wants us
to accept His offer
of life eternal;
It is a choice we make
because God waits for us
as long as it takes
