People crying
Her heart beating out of her chest
Where was He
He said He'd be there
Somehow her heart knew He knew best
His time had come
His life ebbed away
Jesus must not have heard
Her brother died
Four days passed
Jesus wept when He heard
She asked if He didn't love them
His reply bespoke compassion
"child sometime the deepest love can only be known
When it says 'wait'"
When love says "wait"
It seems an agony of time
Before we can realize our rescue
When love delays
We find it hard to rest
But it is here that we can
Hear the beating heart of love most clearly
And we finally understand
Love has never flowed deeper or run purer
Than when it says, "Wait"
He was blessed
His heart was godly
God had been good to him
Satan brought charges
The Lord's servant would fall
If he were but cursed and deprived of all
He is yours to try
Save for his life
My servant will stand secure
All that was sacred
Was torn from his life
Should he just curse God and die
Instead he blessed, his life was restored
God said, "My servant, sometimes
The deepest love can only be know when it delays
When love says "wait"
It seems an agony of time
Before we can realize our rescue
When love delays
We find it hard to rest
But it is here that we can
Hear the beating heart of love most clearly
And we finally understand
Love has never flowed deeper or run purer
Than when it says, "Wait"
