Waiting On God

By Freda Hanbury (Edited by Gary Amirault) (From Andrew Murray's book "Waiting On God.")

 

My soul, wait you only upon God." - Psm 62:5

A God....which worketh for him that waiteth for Him." - Isa 64:4

 

Wait only upon God; my soul, be still,

And let your God unfold His perfect will,

You would follow Him throughout this year,

You with listening heart His voice would hear,

You would be a passive instrument

Possessed by God, and ever Spirit-sent

Upon His service sweet - then be you still,

For only this way can He in you fulfil

His heart's desire. Oh, hinder not His hand

From fashioning the vessel He has planned.

Be silent unto God, and you will know

The quiet, holy calm He does bestow

On those who wait on Him; so will you bear

His presence, and His life and light even where

The night is darkest, and your earthly days

Shall show His love, and sound His glorious praise.

And He will work with hand unfettered, free,

His high and holy purposes through you.

First on you must that hand of power be turned,

Till in His love's strong fire your dross is burned,

And you come forth a vessel for your Lord,

So frail and empty, yet, since He has poured

Into your emptiness His life, His love,

Henceforth through you the power of God shall move

And He will work for you. Stand still and see

The victories your God will gain for you;

So silent, yet so irresistible,

Your God will do the thing impossible.

Oh, question no more what you can or can't do;

You can't do anything. But He will carry through

The work where human energy had failed,

Where all your best endeavours had availed

You nothing. Then, my soul, wait and be still;

Your God shall work for you His perfect will.

If you will take no less, His best will be

Your portion now and through eternity.

 

Romans 12:1-2 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
