Couplet 1

Oh Lord I’ve been waiting
Waiting for the ground to give way
Give way to the life that’s growing
Beneath the rock and clay

Couplet 2

How long will it take me
To see the plans that I’ve made
Become the trees with fruit
The evidence of the prayers
That I have prayed

Refrain 1

But You say don’t rush this
You’ve got to be patient
When you plant a seed
And there’ll be a harvest
Don’t make that your idol
Keep your eyes on me

Post-Refrain

Your timing is perfect
Right down to the minute
Late in bloom or suddenly
You know when it’s best for me

Couplet 3

So when I am weary
And aching for what I’ve not seen
And I’m tempted to rush
The hands of time
To force them to bend to me

Refrain 2

You say don’t worry
The hustle is so overrated
So I will be content
With what You have given
As my daily bread

Post-Refrain

Your timing is perfect
Right down to the minute
Late in bloom or suddenly
You know when it’s best for me

Interlude

Make me like the sparrow
Happy to be fed

Pont

From the hand of God
Make me like the lilies
Light and gentle calm and unafraid
Content to grow where they stand

Post-Refrain

Your timing is perfect
Right down to the minute
Late in bloom or suddenly

Intro en finale

You know when it’s best for me
