Wait Upon The Lord

Our lives are just a passing glimpse a day unto the Lord,
We live each day longing for the next, the day we’ll follow his word.
If life could spin a thousand webs of truth, we’d surely seek the right,
Not waiting for the day to come, but toiling upward in the night.

Who can see into the eternities, and know what we have in store?
Or know the boundaries that have been set to live with him once more?
Only he who knows the scriptures and follows what they say,
Can truly seek to know the one true Lord and follow in his way.

Our days on earth are filled with grief, sorrow, and pain,
The challenge is to trust in Christ for our sorrows he was slain.
If we could come to know his love and understand his light,
We could be a beacon here and lead others to the right.

If I my Savior am to please each day I spend down here,
Then I must seek to know him and through prayer draw him near.
No man can stand the darts of the deceiver without an armor strong,
So we must choose to follow him and never seek the wrong.

For some, the days on earth are short, for others time extends,
The Savior knows our every day and supports us to the end.
We cannot know nor can we tell when our days are through,
But live each day in faith we must and find him each day anew.

If we our Savior can but trust and seek to behold his face,
Then we can kneel and receive the crown as winners of this race.
No time is lost upon the Lord he knows our every need,
If we can but trust in him each day, we’ll be with him indeed.
