YouTube video: Waiting Upon the Lord

Text:
Like a ground is cared for ere a crop is grown,
As our seeds are planted deep in fertile loam,
As we tend young saplings 'til the real growth starts,
God can nurture promise in a swelling heart.

Like a seed needs moisture from a rain to pour,
As we bask in sunshine, always wanting more,
As a thriving seed needs ample space to grow,
God can give assurance He loves to bestow.

Like the waiting needed 'til it's time to reap,
As we pray when nature harms the crop we seek.
As we pause for produce finally to appear,
God can grant His blessings as we persevere.

Chorus:
God is He who gives the greatest yield,
Pruning each one's soul 'til all are healed.
He will strengthen us from His own roots,
Then with patience we can reap the perfect fruit.
