Blessings
A very special blessing is in store for those who wait
Upon the will and timing of the One Who holds our fate
Who watches o'er us daily in the path He'd have us go
Who sees beyond the present to the future He does know
A blessing with the facets like a diamond one might see
With each another blessing that He grants to you and me
The blessing first in waiting where one's faith is exercised
Another in the seeing that our God is not surprised
And then the realization that the thing we wanted most
Is less than what He's wanting in the ones who are to host
Those times of prayer and fellowship where others learn of Him
And all the Father has in store in time to give to them
That meet their need each moment from the start of everyday
Fulfilling their desire oft before they stop to pray
And showing those around them that God's promises are true
As they can see reflections of His grace in all they do
Like one long chain of blessings that extend through all who see
The hand of God that's working to ensure our destiny
Is life with Him eternal with a place beside his throne
That place that has been promised for the ones who are His own
Because in truth all blessings really are to work that way
Preparing us to treasure everything the scriptures say
Belong to those Who love Him who first knew His love before
And could not here imagine they could want for something more
Than to be in His presence where they'll hear the Father say
Well done My true and faithful for the price you had to pay
In standing firm upon My Word when all that you could see
Was evil circumstances fostered by the enemy But you chose to be faithful to the promise you had made
The promise to be like My Son and to the Price We paid
To purchase your salvation in the Kingdom you will see
That will be yours forever for the love you have for Me
And will by endless blessing be the place where you reside
With all the other people who will stand there by your side
Who only came to be there through the witness that you gave
While waiting on the blessings for the faithful and the brave
