in the arms of your patience

as we rest in your word

in the arms of your patience

may we trust in you

releasing our worry

our cares to you

may we be at peace

in times of waiting

knowing you are present

may we trust in you

in you completely

waiting patiently

a state of waiting

waiting patiently

because waiting

is not a choice

waiting patiently

giving it over

waiting patiently

for God

a choice in waiting

to wait patiently

giving it over

to God

trusting more

more completely

waiting patiently

for God

Judgment will Come

The words of the prophet
speaking a message
revealing a truth we ignore
a message from almighty God

Judgment will come
culling the nations
threshing each beating heart
in the harvest of the Lord

Woe to Those

Part of the story
through the ages
maybe central
to the state of affairs
woe to those
who rely on men
turning away
from almighty God

From the beginning
there in the garden
walking with God
yet turning away
all of the peoples
down through the ages
the choice to follow
or to turn away

Trust in the Lord
in his goodness only
not in the ways of man
merely a stumbling block
Cleave to the rock
our strength through the ages
the Lord alone
in him do we abide

Wanting Only Pablum

The people admonished
afraid of the truth
mocking the word of God
wanting only pablum
to feel good, happy
ignoring the plumb line
not being put to the test

So like today
unwilling to confront the grave
the cost of our folly
the price we would pay
for denying his commands
the work of his hands
unfaithful to his words
