PATIENCE


Because I lock

The door He has to knock;

He has to wait

Because I bar the gate;

Because I wall

Him out He has to call.


Although I mock,

In patience, He will knock;

And He will wait

If my reply is late;

His love will call

When my response is small.


Lord, I unlock

My heart, break down the wall,

Unhinge my gate;

Thou shalt no longer wait

Or knock, or call:

Lord, lead me to Thy flock.
