How Long Will It Take?

  

How long will it take to change me?

Lord, why do I let You down?

I just want to show I love You

Not seeking a victor’s crown.

I’d like to be quiet and obedient

And yet I holler and fret

While You stand there beside me

Do You ask, “Are you finished, yet?”

My questions keep on increasing

My failures are doing that too

Yet I want to show that I love You

What am I doing to you?

Friends, I cannot give an answer

To the questions that bother me so

For though I’ve had years of practice

I still have a long way to go.

I hope that you love my Saviour

And don’t holler and fuss like me

Then your lessons in life will be shortened

If you realise God set you free

From questions that have no answers

Like the why, oh why is this so?

If you cut to the chase and show your faith

You won’t have a long way to go.
