Try Hard to Wait

Steve Cochrane 1955 (Cape)

Rhymed
It does no good to worry.
It does no good to try
To make things go in a hurry
And wave as they go bye.

If you believe you can't achieve
The goals inside your mind,
Try hard to wait; God is not late
And see the love you find!

God has his own agenda for
Believers who will pray
And pray and pray and pray some more
Then wait in faith each day!
