Ode to a Patient God

I can't believe You waited for me Like it was worth Your while We see the church and the lost You see Your bride and Your sons And full of hope, You carry on Making us one, just on and on And patiently, You wait Never wanting us to die If we could still be saved Oh, is it so? Having all control And that controlling nothing at all Of what You're hoping for and I Surround my gate tonight Searching to and fro to find Someone who will fight And I Oh, I wonder what You see I can't believe You waited for me And so If there's anything You need Anything at all, you just call I made a promise I'll keep So 'till we meet
