The Sand Man

The time slips away it doesn't linger
Like sand falls through my finger.
I'm still waiting for you
Yes it's true.

Some think I am crazy
Sometimes the truth feels hazy
But I'm still waiting for you
to make my dreams come true.

I've waited for so long
To hear you sing our song.
I don't know where you are,
But I trust your guide.

He will lead you in the right way
He wont go too fast or too slow.
He knows how to make you grow.

For the greatest plans
You must put your life in His hands.

His hands are bigger than the mountains
Deeper than the oceans.
Give Him your dreams.
Give Him your deepest desire.

He'll take it to the fire
He will burn it and mold it into His plans.
Give Him your desire
To mold with His hands.

I trust His will
I trust His plan.
I just need to stay still
So I can see His hand.

My Plea to Unmet Husband

I once heard a song
That said you'd be on time.
But what if it was wrong?
What if you've stopped waiting for me,
And started listening to the lies instead?

They say, "She'll never be here."
"You might as well give up."
Don't give into the fear.

I'll keep praying for you,
Until I'm 82.
I wonder where I would find you
On a Friday night?

Would I find you at the Hooters down the street?
Flirting with every girl you meet?
Would I find you home in front of a tv
Having totally given up on me?

Only Christ knows the wounds you've had to endure.
Only Christ hold the cure.
Give Him your life.
Only He knows your wife.

Are you being honest with the ones you know?
Are you letting them help you grow?
Are you hiding behind a veil?
So it will be easier if you have to bail?

Babe, don't live your life alone,
Then the power of Christ can't be shown.
Be brave for the one you don't know
Then God can help you grow.

I thought you'd find me last year,
But no, you didn't come near.
I could give into the fear,
And start drinking beer.

But that's not what I'll do,
I'll just keep praying for you
That you won't give up your search,
And you'll start going to church.

Just put one foot in front of the other,
Lean on Christ my brother.
Let him your burden carry,
If it gets too heavy for you.

The church has weird views of what it means to date,
Babe don't get too focused on that.
Focus on what Christ says to do,
Which is to love and not hate.

It is to put others before your self,
Sometimes that means putting your agenda on a shelf.
Sometimes God asks us to let go
Because he knows things we dont know.

Just remember I'll keep waiting for you,
Until I'm 82.
So don't fret and don't worry,
I'll try not to be in a hurry.
Just take your time,
And remember this rhyme.
