Content to Wait

I kneel before Thee, content to wait,
For Thy plans are never late.
All the plans I’ve sought in past
They will burn, but Thine will last.

I kneel before Thee, content and still
I seek, O Lord, to do They will,
To know Thy hear, obey Thy plans
My life is in Thy loving hands.

I kneel before Thee, content with joy,
Tough Satan would my life destroy
By tempting me to run ahead;
I choose to follow Thee instead.

I kneel before Thee, content to stay
Thou leadest in Thy perfect way.
For when in Thee I am complete
I find I’m waiting at your feet.

I kneel before Thee, content, at rest.
I know Thy sov’rign paths are best.
Until I pass through heaven’s gate
Keep me, Lord, content to wait!
