Await

At the church service lastnight

they sang Psalm 71

grabbed me and I remembered the first time

I had heard this message sung

at your church as you held my hand



I was aware that the lord was speaking to me

for the coincidence was far to fecthed

a message was there, as I silently said a prayer

seemed the lord spoke to my heart so wretched



Later came "I love to tell a story"

this spoke volumes to me as well

I thought of you at that moment

as we too have a story to tell



I know that our love was blessed

for I was led to him through you

and I pray each night and day for an answer

please lord show me what to do



For life without you seems to be

a living hell for today and tommorow

I asked his will be done and trusted in him

waited and wondered in sorrow



Maybe I have outlived the past

outrun the temptation of fate

I pray each day for an answer from above

what to do with this love, the answer I patiently...await
