Much Like the Tide

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Time and tide wait for no man”

Or so I’ve heard it said,

But You’ve waited for me to change

Most patiently, instead.

 

The world keeps turning as it has

For more years than I know,

It seems it took almost as long

For my spirit to grow.

 

But You never gave up on me,

You kept me close to You,

Until, at last, I understood

What I needed to do.

 

Now, like the tide that will not wait,

I rush upon Your shore,

But unlike the tide, I will rest

In Your peace ever more.

 

Isaiah 51:15

I am the Lord your God, who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar— the Lord of hosts is his name.
