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.
