5 Minutes of Hope

When the seasons of testing are doubly extended

And the day you so long for comes not

The prayers that you pray

Seem to just simply stay

By the door of your lips

Where’s God?

When that which you’ve hope in seems now to be futile

And all you’ve put faith in goes flat

The goals you desire

Consumed in the fire

While the aching heart chants

Where’s God?

When years of firm values are now all a shaking

And all that was clear turns to haze

You’re losing your standing

All sides are demanding

The answer, the answer

Where’s God?

When finally you come to the end of all struggling

The worries, the doubts, the fears cease

You lie at His feet

His presence so sweet

To the quiet and believing

There’s God
