Time:

Time:

Time will pass,
And time will come,
And our time is never your time,
So we must let your time be the one,

You Lord know the path we must take,
You Lord lead us on the right road,
All in your time, all in you wake,
You will help lift our load,

Time will pass,
And time will come,
And our time is never your time,
So we must let your time be the one,

On the way there will be some sorrow,
But you gave to us the Spirit of Comfort,
So even though we don't know the morrow,
You will always be our home port,

Time will pass,
And time will come,
And our time is never your time,
So we must let your time be the one,

Even in our loneliness,
You are never far,
Because it is just homesickness,
From being away from you and who you are,

Time will pass,
And time will come,
For all the things you have for us to fall into place,
And then some,


Poem inspired by how God's time and path never matches ours. Also v.3 is about Jesus telling the coming of the Spirit of Comfort in the end of John's gospel. V.5 is from the quote: "The soul hardly ever realizes it, but whether he is a believer or not, his loneliness is really a homesickness for God." - Hubert Van Zeller
