WAITING FOR THE LORD
In the cool clear air of the mountain,
I listened for words from my Lord.
My eyes saw the streams of pure water
As down from the mountain they flowed.
I smelled the sweet scent of the heather that grows
In the most inaccessible place.
Is there nowhere on earth His love cannot reach?
Is there nowhere untouched by His grace?
From high on the hill to the valleys below,
I saw beauty so vast and so free.
Away from the world, only God's Word to hear,
"I am waiting, Lord, please speak to me".
For a time I was still, alone and apart,
Lost in His presence, serene,
But gradually voices of others were heard,
People not previously seen.
The message from God was so clear to me then,
Although I still wanted to stay.
"My work in the world is waiting" He said
"There are many for whom you should pray".
I returned to the world refreshed by His grace,
In His Name I am ready to go
To help others to know of His wonderful love,
His presence in my life to show.
