I wait.

I wait.

Dear Lord, Thy ways 

Are past finding out,

Thy love too high.

O hold me still

Beneath Thy shadow.

It is enough that Thou

Lift up the light 

of Thy countenance.

I wait-

Because I am commanded 

so to do. My mind

Is filled with wonderings

My soul asks "why"

But then the quiet word,

"wait thou only upon God."

And so, not even for the light

to show a step ahead, 

But for Thee, dear Lord

I wait.

{Elizabeth Elliot}
