Sometimes it seems so long
Since God answered any prayer
Sometimes we go through life
Wondering if anyone cares
There is something we sometimes forget
I’ve learned it through the strife
God always has a perfect time
To work things in your life
It’s not that He’s forsaken you
Or that He’s gone away
For He has made a promise
That by our side He’d stay
We know God’s thoughts and ways
Are not like yours or mine
For everything the Saviour does
Is in His perfect time
We need to have the patience
To allow Him to work His way
We need to place our problems
Down at His feet and say
Lord I leave these problems
These thoughts that are in my mind
I leave them before You today
Work them out in Your own time
Then when things don’t work out
The way you feel they should go
It’s not because God doesn’t care
Or because our God is slow
It simply means He’s working
All things out for your good
In His own time, in His own way
Just like you knew He would
