The toils of life have worn my patience thin. It sure is terrible the way things have been.
I didn't know it would be like this,
But most of all Your presence is what I miss.
Lord, there is so much to face along the way.
Won't You come with just a word for me today?
I just wish I could see a speck of light, So I would know the end is in sight.
Is it possible all this will change for me today?
Lord speak, I will listen to what You have to say. I will obey, if only You will show me what to do.
How much longer before I hear from You?
My trust has and always will remain in You, But now I just don't know what else to do.
I don't mind going the extra mile,
If I knew on Your face there would be a smile.
Is this going to continue on this way, Or is it going to be worse than today?
Then I just pray for Your grace. To face the things I have to face.
When will I be free from all this pain?
When will You come and visit me again?
I have always known You will see me through, But oh how hard it is while waiting on You.
When you are awake or while you are asleep, My grace is sufficient; you it will safely keep.
In Me you have kept your trust and obeyed, And through it all, you were never swayed.

What can you tell Me of my past?
Anything that was then, did it last?
What are some of the things that were then?
Do you know about them, can you tell Me when?
Were there things great and small, Or was there anything at all?
Was there life and death?
Was there anything that had breath?
Do you have knowledge that can tell you?
Of what I did, and all the things I planned to do?
Were there any mountains and hills?
To grind the wheat and corn were there mills?
Were there seas and fountains?
Were there trees and flowers on the mountains?
Were there rivers and streams?
Were there moons? Were there sun beams?
Were there animals running to and fro?
Can you tell me, do you know?
Were there meadows? Were there fields?
Were there people, with their shields?
Were there great monsters in the sea?
Can you tell who was there with Me? Was there anything then that is now? Can you tell Me, can you tell Me how?
Is it all to you a mystery?
Is there anything in your records of My history?
Then My past for now must remain the past,
I will always be, My love for you will always last.
