Waiting
by Katie
I imagine Martha had quite the time waiting for the Lord to work. I often do as well. Here is what I imagine their conversation could have looked like:
Lord, if you had been here
My brother had not died.
Lord, if you had been here
I would be at his side.
Lord, if you had been here
I would much further be.
Oh Lord, in patient sweetness
Teach me to wait on Thee.
But Child, if he had not died
I couldn’t raise him from the dead.
And Child, if you were at his side
You’d not choose me to rest your head.
And Child, if you were much further on
You would not happy be.
Oh Child, trust me for my best.
Be patient, wait on me.
