I waited and waited and waited for God. At last he looked; finally he listened.He lifted me out of the ditch, pulled me from deep mud.He stood me up on a solid rock to make sure I wouldn’t slip.He taught me how to sing the latest God-song, a praise-song to our God.More and more people are seeing this: they enter the mystery, abandoning themselves to God.
