There once was a grasshopper pining away
Wondering when God would save the day
When pain and grief rolled in like waves
“When would it surely all go away?”
The sun it would shine and give some dear rest
But soon came a haze of painful regret
And memories echoed the mountains of mind
“It seems I will never be free,” I would sigh.
But patience was doing its perfect work
Tilling up treasures, revealing Gods love
And when all seemed lost, a surprise I would see
God was surely revealing the real me.
The road had been long and I had been lost
Given to others at my own hearts cost
So Jesus came in for a rescue this time
What felt like loss was becoming a find.
One step, then two it was a slow go
But Jesus was faithful to have and to hold
And when I would panic at every delay
“Patience, Grasshopper,” He’d whisper each day.
