%% 4

|
> My Soul Waits
|
|
>> I wait for the LORD. My soul waits. I hope in his word.
|
|
|
|
Occasion: When I have to wait
|
|
|
|
Lord, nothing is happening.
|
|
At least nothing I can see.
|
|
|
|
I have done what I can do.
|
|
Now there are no more buttons to push,
|
|
no more calls to make,
|
|
no tasks that will make the answer arrive sooner.
|
|
|
|
I just have to wait,
|
|
and discover again how much I dislike
|
|
having no control over ``when.''
|
|
|
|
Keep me from living five minutes ahead,
|
|
then an hour,
|
|
then tomorrow,
|
|
always leaning toward what has not happened yet.
|
|
|
|
My life is also happening here.
|
|
Now.
|
|
|
|
Do not let waiting become
|
|
a moment I refuse to inhabit.
|
|
|
|
There is still this day,
|
|
this meal,
|
|
this conversation,
|
|
this patch of sunlight,
|
|
this breath.
|
|
|
|
I wait for what I cannot hurry.
|
|
And my soul waits for You.
|
|
|
|
Amen. |
