Please Be Patient

Hurry, Hurry, time to go,
Hurry, hurry, time is so slow.
So much to do, so much to say,
As I go about my busy day.
I hear a voice very quiet and still,
"Please be patient."

Errands to run, shopping to do.
Make the beds, sweep the floor.
Another day to go through
With such short time.
Then the Lord speaks again,
"Please be patient".

Call for oil, pay the bill.
Take the trash down the hill.
Check the laundry, fold, put away.
Call for prescriptions, call the doc.
Sit down, relax-take it slow,
But no time to stop.
Then I hear again,"Please, be patient".

Oh, I don’t feel good,
But can’t slow down,
Appointments today all around.
Pay the rent, pay the bills,
Shop for food-I can’t stop now,
But I hear His voice, Please! Be Patient!"

A brand new day, get up and go,
But not today, my body says "No!"
You take care of others and but forget "you".
Today you go slow, today you wait.
Today you listen before it’s too late.
Heed my Words and strength you’ll draw.
"Please, just be patient".
