Wait Upon the Lord

I wait.
Dear Lord, Thy ways
Are past finding out,
Thy love too high.
O hold me still
Beneath Thy shadow.
It is enough that Thou
Lift up the light
Of Thy countenance.
I wait -
Because I am commanded
So to do. My mind
Is filled with wonderings.
My soul asks "Why?"
But then the quiet word,
"Wait thou only
upon God."
And so, not even for the light
To show a step ahead,
But for thee, dear Lord,
I wait.

I feel like I'm in limbo.  Certain matters in my life are simply just out of my control.  Or rather, I do not want to control these things.  Perhaps finally I learned to, and am taking God seriously this time.  After having gone through a rather painful experience the last time I decided to just "go ahead!", this time I am being careful, lest God's wrath falls upon me again (being dramatic here).  So, what now?  I guess I wait.. wait...oh and I remember to pray fervently, not a prayer asking for a green light, but for His will to be done in my life.  Jesus will always be my first and true love, and nobody can ever replace that ;)

What once was hurt
What once was friction
What left a mark
No longer stings
Because Grace makes beauty
Out of ugly things
