Standing on Your Promises

Prayers lifted in desperation and fogs of tears.
Hearts upon Your altar, a healing request.
Soothed, comforted by Your Spirit.
Revealing, "Stand strong, for I am with you always."
All prayers answered, excluding one.
Time, time, Your time.
The test of time and faith.
Remembering, reminded of miracles past.
Standing on Your promises

Waiting, waiting, impatient times pass.
Eternity to me, nano seconds to You.
My doubtful heart is Adam's curse.
Arising at Your altar, I stand in truth and love.
Walking in Your will, acceding promises.
Time, time, Your time.
The test of time and faith.
Remembering, reminded of miracles past.
Standing on Your promises.

Hopeful glimmers of changing hearts.
Words spoken, swept on cyber wave seas.
Sudden repentance, an opening of the heart?
Erase my doubt, for with You all things are possible.
Alas, the old Adam arises, distrusting, dare I hope?
Time, time, Your time.
The test of time and faith.
Remembering, reminded of miracles past.
Standing on Your promises.

Discernment's prayer; for all good comes from You.
Evil's pathways abandoned, perhaps the restoration road?
A heart coming back to You is all I asked.
Can it be? A miracle of miracles?
The ultimate, unanswered prayer fulfilled?
Time, time, Your time.
The test of time and faith.
Remembering, reminded of miracles past.
Standing on Your promises.
