These Are My JOTtings, Part #2

Waiting and Resting

Waiting, while we think it through.
Waiting on a ride from You.
Waiting on the Lord to come.
Resting in the gifted Sum.

Waiting as the silence stays.
Waiting past all sad dismays.
Waiting 'til this life is through.
Resting in the thoughts of You.

Waiting 'til the Hope is now.
Waiting 'til we all will bow.
Waiting 'til the Evermore.
Resting in what lies in store.

Waiting, for the Lord is here.
Waiting, for His Word is clear.
Waiting truly in great love.
Resting now, and then Above.

Waiting Hope is present peace.
Waiting now in blest release.
Waiting 'til we wait no more.
Resting now in Evermore.
