Time and Tempo
Sometimes it's oh so easy to prejudge another's sin
To make our own assumption for the trouble they are in
Not knowing of their background or the circumstance behind
The reason they are suffering or in their state of mind
Sometimes we see the outside and assume the same's within
And hold back our affection when they need love to begin
That process for their healing that can only come from Him
Who placed us as His witness to be holding out to them
The answers to their questions they so badly need to hear
That can be their salvation to remove their doubt and fear
And give them an assurance that things need not be the same
When they begin to realize the power of the Name
That's calmed the storms in many given healing to their souls
Achieved success in others who held fast to reach their goals
Of exchanging past for future where one's life is fresh and new
And all their motivation is on what to say and do
To help another struggling with a past somewhat like theirs
A past that sometimes takes a lot of focused work and prayers
To hold onto those victories that only come by grace
Sometimes in quick succession other times at lingering pace
But always when entrusted to the One Who loves us most
With perfect time and tempo by His might Holy Ghost
Each vict'ry as God's wanting to reveal He still controls
The outcome of His people who entrust to Him their souls
And who desire to witness to the grace He's given them
That grace so undeserved yet still our gift of love from Him
That sees us where we've fallen only as a stepping stone
And draws us even closer to assure us we're His own
Because He sees inside us that for which He dearly paid
A child born for His Kingdom to be dressed in what He made
That robe of perfect splendor purer than the driven snow
That bears no imperfection from the past we once did know
For all those in His Kingdom who were once upon this earth
Will only bear His likeness as His children of rebirth
Because He reached through someone He decided He could trust
The way He so desires for our sakes to reach through us
James 2:1-9; 1 Peter 1:17-25
