Waiting in the Wilderness

In the wilderness I wait, Dear Lord.

Dear Lord, I am waiting in the wilderness.

Do you see?

I am waiting!

My heart is racing.

My palms are sweating.

I cannot take deep breaths.

I need your love, I need your depth.

How long will you forget me, Dear Lord?

Every crumb is provision in the morn.

The drink you provide quenches my scorn.

But I am tempted and despaired.

I cannot stand to lose more hair.

These days have worn my soul.

My heart has taken a toll.

Forgive my sins.

I know not the breath within.

I'm wretched, I'm a sinner.

Yet you come and say, "Let's dine, let's have dinner."

I am ready to be realeased.

This pain has not ceased.

I will wait in anticipation.

Please come and make your new nation.

My heart needs your face.

I will worship in the midst of your grace.
