I Sit Here Alone Today

 

I sit here alone today

Another day passes in which I can say:

 

“I am trusting You, Lord to bring me my beau.

The date, or the time, I do not know.” 

 

While I long to give myself completely to someone

I cry, Lord, Your will be done! 

 

You know the desires of my heart

You knew them from the start.

 

To be loved completely

And to give that love in return, so sweetly. 

 

God tells me in face of my spirit’s plea,

“Not until you are fully satisfied in Me.” 

 

“I ask you to give Me everything

Only when you have done that will you be ready for what I will bring.”

 

“I want you to stop planning, stop wishing.

What I have for you will be the best plan existing.”

 

“Just keep watching Me

     Keep your eyes focused on my Cree.”

 

“Keep listening to the things I want to teach you

Don’t be anxious, don’t worry, don’t stew.”

 

When both he and I am ready

God has promised to bring him to me. 

 

“See?” He says with a smile

“I will give you someone very worthwhile.”

 

“I’ve been preparing him just for this day.

I have the man for whom you pray.”

 

“I know you can’t see him just yet

But I will not forget.”

 

“While you learn the things you must

To Me alone must you trust.”

 

“I will give you a love far better then you could even dream

You, and him, will be a team.”

 

“But until you are both satisfied in Me alone-

You must wait until you’ve grown.”

 

“This life I have prepared for you is a gift from above

 You will experience, my dear one, the deepest love.”

 

“I want you to have this most wonderful love of your life~

I want to make you his wife.”

 

“A union of everlasting beauty, excellence and love

Him, a gift to you, sent from above.”

 

Can I believe this?

My soul cries to His.

 

I do trust You for my future, my hope

Yet sometimes I feel overcome, and sadly I mope.

 

To mope, I know it isn’t right 

My head lowers, and I feel contrite. 

 

I think, and realize as I reach deep into my soul

“God!” I cry from the depths of my being, “I want You to be in control!”

 

And as I sit here alone today

Another day passes in which I can say:

 

“God, I trust you with my future, my past, my present

These single years needn’t be unpleasant!”

 

I give you everything I possess

You ask, Lord, will I wait?  My answer is a resounding “YES!”
