HE WAITS
He stood outside my heart’s door knocking
Waiting to possess my heart
And I heeded not His tender whisper
But He waited, His heart filled with
love.
When, at last, my heart all torn and
broken
My soul filled with arrogance and pride,
I stopped to think of how I had ignored
Him,
I found Him waiting patiently outside.
At the time, when He was really needed,
He was there to cleanse my heart, of sin
and shame,
And though I felt I never could deserve
it,
He heard me, Praise His holy name.
He was there! Outside my heart’s door waiting,
What mercy that He had stayed so long!
For I had made Him wait, unheeding,
And repeatedly had done things wrong.
But, now I’ve opened the door to my heart
And my Savior gives me love, and
strength and peace
And I stand in awe and wonder, and
gratitude
Because of His atonement, my love for Him, will never cease!
