Sometimes I ask the question, 
“My Lord, is this your will?” 
It’s then I hear you answer me, 
“My Precious Child … be still.” 

Sometimes I feel frustrated, 
cause I think know what’s best. I
t’s then I hear you say to me, 
“My Busy Child … just rest” 

Sometimes I feel so lonely 
and I think I’d like a mate. 
Your still small voice gets oh so clear 
and says, “My Child … please wait” 

“I know the plans I have for you, 
the wondrous things you’ll see; 
If you can just be patient, 
Child, and put your trust in me. 

I’ve plans to draw you closer. 
I’ve plans to help you grow. 
There’s much I do you cannot see 
and much you do not know. 

But know this, Child … I LOVE YOU. 
You are Precious unto Me. 
Before I formed you in the womb, 
I planned your destiny. 

I’ve something very special 
I hope for you to learn. 
The gifts I wish to give to you 
are gifts you cannot earn. 

They come without a price tag, 
but not without a cost; at Calvary, 
I gave My Son, so You would not be lost. 
Rest Child, and do not weary of doing what is good. 

I promise I’ll come back for you just like I said I would. 
Your name is written on my palm, 
I never could forget; 
Therefore, do not be discouraged 
when my answer is… “Not Yet”
