Waiting Down Here

Lord, I am waiting down here for you to send answers to my prayer.
Though sometimes I've felt like giving up, I want to believe you're there.
Right now, my strength to step out on faith is weak.
So I need you, Lord, to lift me up and be my feet.
I want to stand on the promises of your word, but today, I'm not that strong.
I need you to embrace me and tell me you still sit high on the throne.
Sometimes doubt clouds my mind and I wonder if somehow you've forgotten me.
And then I look outside; I see the sun and beautiful birds singing in a tree.
It's then I know, you remember me and you really do care
Because if you didn't, there wouldn't be a sun to shine or birds to hear.
Deep within, I know you're there, but I can't seem to let go and wait patiently on you.
I don't know why, because you've shown me you'll always come shining through.
Whenever I've thought there was no way out, you opened a door.
You've showered blessings on me with an unsolicited encore.
When my heart was so heavy, God, you dried my tears and moved the pain.
You've let me know I had nothing to lose but all to gain.

How could I ever doubt your love for me?
Your performance as a kind and merciful God exemplifies the essence of Thee.
And after reflecting on your goodness, I don't know how I could ever feel so sad.
I've been richly blessed, so I should be focusing on the positive and rolling with the bad.
Well, God, I'll continue to wait down here for you to send the answers to my prayer,
Only I'll loosen my grip and allow your spirit in me to dwell.
I'll try to push away my fears and pull in my faith.
I'll thrive on the spiritual energy that surrounds me everyday.

Lord, I am ready to put my hand back in yours - please take it right now,
For I need to lean and depend on you and the courage to learn how.
