These Are My JOTtings, Part #2

Waiting for the Lord to Come

Every day I sit, and wait,
while doing what I must.
The day He comes will not be late.
So, wait in peaceful trust.

Some days I wonder, "Lord, today?
Or wait I some days more?"
But silence wafts as breezes say,
"Be faithful as before."

I see the world, its awful mess,
and look for just one joy.
I wonder how it can be blest,
what hope we can employ.

The silences of Christ may seem,
like He's not doing aught,
but we know the Truth we're free
from pirate thoughts as bought.

Be sure of this, dear waiting soul.
The Lord is working still.
Forever in His Presence, whole,
agreeing with His Will.
