A patient soul awaits the best... the best God's meant to be,
A patient soul still hates each test... each test God's meant to see...
So will we wait and hold our ground... with strong foundation laid?
Or will we fret... because we've frowned... at times we felt dismayed?
The choice remains... so, yes, of course... we choose to wait or fret...
Despite amazing grace God stores... for future times we'll get...
We'll stay alive, should God permit... to see our promised land
And that is all there is to it... for then, we'll understand...
So let the building take its time... and pay the bills that come,
For one day... it will look sublime... to one and all... not some...
Our faith will be rewarded then... and what good works we'll do...
So praise the Lord... for that day when... our patience got us through!
