I had been waiting yesterday
For a dream to come true
To see in the real life
Something out of the blue
I had strong faith
To see what I wait for
But, nothing was happening
And the day turned a bore.
How come, things went wrong
While I’m full of faith?
I was very eager
To fill the air with praise.
I sit and complained
Can’t his eyes see my faith?
“Where is my God today? ”
I supposed to be helped
Because He has a way.
To find the answer
I sit and search the book
Solomon says to me
That is how my God work:
There is a time
For everything under the sun
A time for darkness
And time for sunshine.
If there’s appointed time
On earth for everything
Why should I rush myself
To grab some useless thing?
If I have some patience
And wait for few moments
I can see miracles
That can change many lives.
Yesterday I was sad
But now I’m consoled
I know there is a time
For everything I need
My God will provide
What will be good for me
When I’m rejoicing
And cries my enemy.
A time for loneliness
Replaced by being couple
A time of sorrow
Crushed by sweet smile
A time of hopelessness
Destroyed by brighter hope
People come together
Bind up with a love rope.
Thinking God forsaken me
I cried yesterday
He taught me a lesson
And wipes my tears away
It was foolish of me
Not knowing the time
Wasted my energy
And longed for which is not mine.
