Waiting

Waiting!

By J. Danson Smith

Waiting! Yes patiently waiting!

Till next steps made plain will be;

to hear, with the inner hearing,

the Voice that will call for me.

Waiting! Yes hopefully waiting!

With hope that need not grow dim.

The Master is pledged to guide me,

and my eyes are unto Him.

Waiting! Expectantly waiting!

Perhaps it may be today,

the Master will quickly open the gate to my future way.

Waiting! Yes Waiting! Still waiting!

I know, though I’ve waited long,

that while He withholds His purpose,

His waiting cannot be wrong.

Waiting! Yes waiting!

Still waiting!

The Master will not be late:

since He knows that I am waiting

for Him to unlatch the gate.
