Just Waiting

Virginia Groff 1959 (Allentown, Pa.)

Lord, I know you have a plan for me
So, I will have to wait and see

Jesus, I give you all of me
So, I can start living for thee

I open myself and bow my knee
Because you know what’s best for me

I cannot fuss I cannot fight
For if I do I will not take flight

So here I am with my head hung low
Just waiting for you to see the show

    Just go to a gospel believing church and hear His Word spoken to you and you will know what to do next ! You must believe in God's salvation to work for the Shepherd and read His Word to make a start. There are no shorts cuts to Know God. Go for it, life is shorter than you think !.
    Talk is cheap, action takes work !
