Though He tarries; I will be waiting

               

Not that I have seen the day

But a dawn unknown I await

With a desire conceived in my heart

My delivery day soon approaches

And though He may tarry, still I wait

*****

I have a dream

When the glorious sun will light my morning

When the birds will hum my song

And the winds will carry my tune

What a beautiful morning; the birth of my dream

*****

I have harbored many dreams

I have lived in a world of fantasy

I am dreamer and poor me, I know it

So poor I am that I still dream on

Who will wake me from my stupor?

*****

I will respond to no wakeup call

I will turn off the alarm

Shut my ears from the morning bell

Till His voice I hear

Yes, though He tarries, yet I will wait

*****

Years may pass by, centuries or millennia

I may be long gone before His day comes

But even in my grave, I will wait

And when He blows the wake up trumpet

I will rise to meet Him on the skies

*****

Though the day of the Lord tarries

My expectation shall not be cut

My dream will not die

And with visions of golden paths; a day of vindication

A lifetime I shall lead waiting till He comes.

*****

Though He may tarry; I will be waiting
