Question

My heart is waiting, O God
My heart is waiting, O God.
My heart is waiting, O God.
Where is your presence.

I sit in silence, O God
My soul is patient, my God
My soul is patient, my God
But where may I find you?
Where are you in my life?

You repay according to our works
And I wait for your pay, O God.
And I wait for your pay, O God.
My mind waits to know your will.

But when I say I wait, O God
Am I a hypocrite in your eye?
But when I say I have patience, O God
Is it patience or an unjust cry?

Am I in that brood of vipers
who sit and mock those distressed?
Am I one of those who are blind
who make rules that disregard love?

And is this my repayment, O God,
to sit and wait in distress.
And is this where you want me to be -
waiting while seeking your will.
