Patience

Lord, you love me too much to hurry
Though I'd try to rush you along
Lord, you know the path when I've worried
I see a note, but you see the song

When I cry out for you to relieve me
Of the path that my life just might take
Hand in hand you patiently lead me
THrough a trial that will strengthen my fiath

Lord, you love me too much to hurry
For to you, my heart's worth the time
Patience, kindness, and mercy will draw me
Through the trials that make me purified

You could use your power to scare me
But only a slave I'd have been
By your steadfast love you have caught me
As a servant, a child, and a friend.

You want my heart.  You want my heart.
Not what I do, when to earn love I try to start.
You want my good more than my happiness;
so in your arms I'm safe at rest, for you love my heart.
