Patience
By Marci Perrine

Patience is a virtue we know it’s true
However it’s easier to say than to do
If you lack patience you are told to pray
Wow, that is a scary thing to say

God’s word says that patience comes from trouble
I’m afraid that my tribulation will now double
Then through patience I will become more sure
Experience gives me hope to endure

Now as a friend, a mom, and wife
Patience needs to rule my life
Becoming anxious and upset
Will not help others or me one bit

So Lord as I pray about this beautiful trait
Help me to serve you with my path straight
I will patiently serve you through battle strife
For patience more than anything must lead my life
