Patiently do you wait

Patiently do you wait for me, my God,
Never pushing, never rushing me to your arms;
You simply wait, as you have promised, 
And there you remain 'til I am ready,
Ready to part with my guilt, 
my wandering from your path
To chase some distant call.

Patiently do you wait for me, my God,
Until I draw near to you, 
And with head bowed I am enveloped
By your healing embrace, your fatherly love
That pardons forever and always
All I could wrong in heart, in deed, in unawareness,
And I am whole again.

Patiently do you wait for me, my God,
Sitting at my side, always watching,
Always smiling with deepest caring eyes,
And as I stumble along the path,
The road I know so well,
I wander once again towards some love
That I fail to see as you.

Patiently do you wait for me, my God.
Patiently do you wait.
