Patience
Don't you wish that time would fly
And tomorrow be yesterday
Wouldn't you like the hours to fly by
Your hope be gained today
If it's true for you as it is true for me
Then patience is your need
So get on your knees 'fore the almighty
Cause for it you should plead.
When others faults just rub you wrong
And you want them to change right now
Wait, I say, it won't be long
Let patience teach you how
When something you want doesn't happen on time
And you're angy as can be
To lose your temper is a serious crime
Cool it! Act patiently
There are times when the things that others must do
Determine the path you take
You wish they'd hurry up and get through
Be patient, for heaven's sake
When answers to prayer don't seem to come.
And you'd give up in despair
Cheer up my friend, don't be glum
Have patience, God is still there
A watched pot never boils
So the saying goes
Lack of patience character spoils
In place, impatience grows
When I think that God loves me
In spite of all my faults
I'm glad he waits patiently
His patience never halts
So teach me Lord, so I may learn
To let my life slow down
For patience, Lord to thee I turn
Thou God of great renown
Help me make the best of each day
Each moment - take for its best
May I not wish my life away
Make patience my life's quest
So patiently wait on God, I say
In Him you should take rest
Learn to be content with his way
And your life will be blessed
Commit your life, each day, each hour
to GOD, He will provide
The patience you need through the Spirit's power
If in Hiim you will abide.
And tomorrow be yesterday
Wouldn't you like the hours to fly by
Your hope be gained today
If it's true for you as it is true for me
Then patience is your need
So get on your knees 'fore the almighty
Cause for it you should plead.
When others faults just rub you wrong
And you want them to change right now
Wait, I say, it won't be long
Let patience teach you how
When something you want doesn't happen on time
And you're angy as can be
To lose your temper is a serious crime
Cool it! Act patiently
There are times when the things that others must do
Determine the path you take
You wish they'd hurry up and get through
Be patient, for heaven's sake
When answers to prayer don't seem to come.
And you'd give up in despair
Cheer up my friend, don't be glum
Have patience, God is still there
A watched pot never boils
So the saying goes
Lack of patience character spoils
In place, impatience grows
When I think that God loves me
In spite of all my faults
I'm glad he waits patiently
His patience never halts
So teach me Lord, so I may learn
To let my life slow down
For patience, Lord to thee I turn
Thou God of great renown
Help me make the best of each day
Each moment - take for its best
May I not wish my life away
Make patience my life's quest
So patiently wait on God, I say

And your life will be blessed
Commit your life, each day, each hour
to GOD, He will provide
The patience you need through the Spirit's power
If in Hiim you will abide.
